You will make known to me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy; in Your right hand there are pleasures forever.                                                                                                                    Psalm 16:11 For the Christian, only one thing matters, to be with God. A born again believer in Jesus has moved from spiritual…

How blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, nor stand in the path of sinners, nor sit in the seat of scoffers! But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in His law he meditates day and night. He will be like a tree firmly planted by streams of water, which yields its fruit in its season and…

Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap. For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time…

For if anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself. But each one must examine his own work, and then he will have reason for boasting in regard to himself alone, and not in regard to another. For each one will bear his own load.                           …

Brethren, even if anyone is caught in any trespass, you who are spiritual, restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness; each one looking to yourself, so that you too will not be tempted. Bear one another’s burdens, and thereby fulfill the law of Christ.                                   …

But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh. For the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that you please. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the…

You have been severed from Christ, you who are seeking to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace.                                                                                                             Galatians 5:4 Holding onto the old covenant means that we must forfeit our rights to the new covenant. For many, the Christian life is to believe in…

It was for freedom that Christ set us free; therefore keep standing firm and do not be subject again to a yoke of slavery.                                                                                                                Galatians 5:1 Freedom, it’s what everyone is seeking, freedom from guilt and shame, freedom from the past and confidence about the future. The…

But as at that time he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so it is now also.                                                                                                              Galatians 4:29  It’s as great approach to religious legalism than I can imagine. Paul’s combination of clarity and frankness drives home the point.  Tell…

So have I become your enemy by telling you the truth? They eagerly seek you, not commendably, but they wish to shut you out so that you will seek them.                                                         …
