July 4th is when God gave the 10 Commandments to Israel at Mt. Sinai to announce their freedom from the tyrant King of Egypt. No? Am I getting my history confused? This curious confusion points to similarities between our Declaration and Constitution, and Israel’s 10 Commandments. Read the Preamble in Exodus 20:2, […]

Wednesday’s Wisdom – Love vs Approval Read a thought-provoking comment saying, “There is nothing we can do to make God love us more”. I will have to remember that. Love, however, does not equate approval, as any parent knows. That is why Paul sought the approval of God and not of others (Galatians 1:10). How […]

Anathema, Anathema! Paul is as mad at these false teachers as he is in any epistle, maybe and probably more. Why does Paul use such strong language as “anathema” (Galatians 1:8-9) which mean accursed or cursed? It is not an oft used word (Acts 23:14; Romans 9:3; 1 Corinthians 12:3; 16:22; Galatians 1:8-9). Not only […]

Bored while driving down the road, I asked Google on my phone, “What is a Christian?” It instead defined Christianity. Curious what it said?“ Christianity is an Abrahamic monotheistic religion based on the life and teachings of Jesus.” What do you think of that answer? Substitute “Moses” or “Mohammed”, and you have the […]

What if the necessity of the existence of true theology concerning God’s “plural oneness” is less ivory tower and more kitchen table gospel? Let’s argue the opposite. What if there is no “Oneness” of God consisting of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit? 1. What if the “Oneness” is a simplistic numeric existence such […]

The Gospel According to Galatians 4:4-7 Satan does not care that we believe in Jesus, if it doesn’t matter what we believe about Jesus. This short text shows us much about the Gospel, as do many others; however none of which contain all the facts. Seven is often the symbol of completion; although this will […]

Watch Out When Helping Others What is the sin the restorer is tempted to commit? • “Brothers and sisters, if someone is overtaken in any wrongdoing, you who are spiritual, restore such a person with a gentle spirit, watching out for yourselves so that you also won’t be tempted.” (CSB’17 Galatians 6:1) In the past […]

“You have fallen from grace” (Galatians 5:4). Paul wrote that simple statement although many good-hearted religious folks will say the exact opposite, “You cannot fall from grace.” It is a reality, but do we grasp the immediate meaning? Paul is not writing about people who give up and go back to the world. Yes, they […]
