Good Morning “One in Christ”!  Dig into Galatians 3 today!Paul continues to address the purpose of the law and the means by which we must be saved.  The purpose of the law was never to save, but to define and incite sin.  Jesus Christ was promised long before the law was given.  The law did not somehow erase Gods promise, it doesn’t work like that.  On the contrary the law simply defined an even g...  Read More

Good Morning “Crucified.”  Check out Galatians 2 today.Paul dealing the issue of Justification reminds us in this chapter that we are justified by Grace through Faith in Jesus plus nothing.  Some were hanging on to their Jewish Customs and expecting converted Gentiles to live by them as well.We all seem to have this innate desire to feel richer than, better than, more than, even more righteous tha...  Read More

Good Morning “REAL Gospel Receivers.”  Today we start Galatians chapter 1The church’s in the region of Galatia were similar to the Church in Corinth in that they too had begun to believe a corrupted, changed Gospel.  In the time in which we live, making the Gospel, even God into what we want Him to be, seems to be common place.  There is nothing new under the sun.  We weren’t the first to do this....  Read More

Good Morning “Discerners of Fake-ness”.  Let’s check our 2 Corinthians 11.Here Paul is addressing several things.  Among them is the fact that some within their midst are talking the talk but they are not walking the walk.  On the outside they have the appearance of Godliness, but on the inside their hearts are not in it.  They have thus then become tools for the evil one.  “And no wonder, for Sat...  Read More

Good Morning “Thought Captivators.”  Today we dig into 2 Corinthians 10.The random thoughts that pop into our heads are many.  Some, tempting, some just contrary to the Word of God.  The thoughts themselves are not the problem.  The entertainment of those thoughts and the resulting sin, changed convictions or morphed theology IS.  So what’s the answer.  Within their ministry and challenge to the C...  Read More
