Reflections From Galatians

A Big Problem

A Big Problem

Galatians 5:19,21 (NKJV) ‘Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are… and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.’ The good thing about the flesh is...

Fight For The Throne

Fight For The Throne

Galatians 5:16-18 (NKJV) ‘I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish....

Meaning Of Liberty

Meaning Of Liberty

Galatians 5:13 (NKJV) ‘For you, brethren, have been called to liberty; only do not use liberty as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.’ It is a misunderstanding to think that because we have been freed from the religious obligations of the...

It’s The Only Message

It’s The Only Message

Galatians 5:11 (NKJV) ‘And I, brethren, if I still preach circumcision, why do I still suffer persecution? Then the offense of the cross has ceased.’ The cross is an offense and the preaching of the cross will offend many in today’s church; and that’s why it’s not...

The Subtle

The Subtle

Galatians 5:9 (NKJV) ‘A little leaven leavens the whole lump.’ We must be extra vigilant. We must be cautious and discerning. Deception is the name of the game and because deception doesn’t need a lot to succeed, a little deception can detract from the life of truth....

The Bottom Line

The Bottom Line

Galatians 5:6 (NKJV) ‘For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision avails anything, but faith working through love.’ The summary of the life of faith is love. The danger with religion is that you could fulfill all the requirements of the law and the law...

There’s More

There’s More

Galatians 5:5 (NKJV) ‘For we through the Spirit eagerly wait for the hope of righteousness by faith.’ We, who are in Christ, have the righteousness of God through Christ. We have it already. However, we know that there is a righteousness that is yet to be revealed. By...

Fall From Grace

Fall From Grace

Galatians 5:2,4 (NKJV) ‘Indeed I, Paul, say to you that if you become circumcised, Christ will profit you nothing… You have become estranged from Christ, you who attempt to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace.’ Circumcision was the sign of the law....

The True Jerusalem

The True Jerusalem

Galatians 4:25-26 (NKJV) ‘for this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children— but the Jerusalem above is free, which is the mother of us all.’ There is an earthly Jerusalem that is bondage, in...

Labors Of Mentoring

Labors Of Mentoring

Galatians 4:19 (NKJV) ‘My little children, for whom I labor in birth again until Christ is formed in you’ We need more mentors in our generation. The Church needs more deliberate disciple makers, disciplers who work with men and labor with them until Christ be formed...
