THIS MAY BE THE MOST IMPORTANT VERSE IN PAUL'S LETTER: Galatians 5:6 (NASB), "For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor un-circumcision means anything, but faith working through love."

We need to orient our lives on the clear statements of Scripture regarding His will. So—today let’s focus our attention on just this one: It Was For Freedom That Christ Set Us Free." (Galatians 5:1-)

We need the wisdom of God & the love of Jesus in order to help those around us. May our hearts be cleansed from impure motives. May our anger be replaced with genuine concern for others.

Galatians 4:11 ... Don't Turn From Jesus & Become Slaves of Satan!

The next time you’re tempted to give up, think of these 7 promises & be encouraged by all God has done for you & what you cannot do for yourself.

We usually only compare ourselves to someone who we think isn’t as good as we are. But Not God! When God makes a comparison, He compares us to His Son, the Lord Jesus—and we all have sinned & fallen short of His glory (Rom 3:23).

Only a new infusion of God’s love can overcome the impulse toward tribalism that separates us into a thousand competing groups. It is good for all pastors & all people to regularly ask, “Do we/I really mean it when we/I say that everyone is welcome?”

I pray that we not only say we believe the Bible is authoritative, but also submit our minds & hearts to it by reading with precision..

This EASTER—lift yours heart & say/sing with the choirs on earth & heaven as recorded in Rev 5:12: "Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power & riches & wisdom & strength & honor & glory & blessing.”
