Paul's Promptitude
Galatians 1:15-16
But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,…


I. There was no PAUSE, for he says "immediately."

II. There was NO GIVING OPPORTUNITY FOR ANY COUNTER INFLUENCE. He "conferred not," etc. He neither took counsel with himself nor with others.

(H. Melvill, B. D.)
