We’re back on the Galatians train—and today we’re talking about Galatians 5. Which works since this is our fifth month in Galatians, can you believe that?! It’s got to be some sort of a record. Today since we’re diving into chapter 5, Jay will be talking about vices and virtues. And more specifically vices and virtues through the lens of Galatians and Paul’s writings. One thing to keep in mind is that the Bible is a collection of writings over time—it really isn’t a rulebook or a textbook. Because Truth is always Truth, regardless of what any majority of people believe. Outweighing something doesn’t mean your take is the Truth. And that goes for everyone, including ourselves. It’s not just about others. Because when we forget that, and when we treat the Bible as a rulebook we tend to make sin bigger than it really is. That’s not clickbait or anything, it’s just a pretty matter of fact thing. Maybe we blow things out of proportion when it comes to church and sin and vices and virtues. That possibility is at least worth exploring. Because so often we’re using the ‘rules’ of the Bible to bite and devour each other, but generosity goes such a long way. We have to remember that we are called to love each other, and love doesn’t demand its own way. It takes time and it takes understanding and it takes patience. If we want to see change, real change, we need patience. So let’s do this and do it together. Let’s be citizens of a community rather than just a group of people!

This talk was given on May 5, 2024 from Seattle, Washington.
