Much of today's readings have to do with separation, with is what holiness is all about. Holiness is about being "other" - set apart for God. God is wholly "other." There is no one or no thing comparable to God. We are to be separated from the pollution of this world - in the world (to help redeem it), but not of the world (one its own).
Deuteronomy 23:23 is an important principle to bring forward to the present - whatever we say we will do, we must be sure to do - let our yes be yes and our no be no. If we commit to be somewhere to do something at a specific time, we should be there on time and do it well. God keeps all of His promises. If we are to be holy like Him, we should keep all of our promises.
