Taking Pride in Appropriate Things. (Galatians 6:11-18)
Send us Fan MailThroughout this letter, Paul has been in a battle — not a personal one, but a doctrinal one. These Jewish legalists have followed him into Galatia, telling these new churches that faith in Christ is not enough, that believers must also keep the Mosaic law — especially circumcision — to be right with God. Paul has argued passionately, relentlessly even, that justification is by fait
Living a Life in the Spirit. (Galatians 6: 1-10)
Send us Fan MailIf you go online and visit a poetry site, you will find 10’s of thousands of poems that attempt to define “love” for us. You find poems that say things like “Love is gazing upon a pool at night, bathed in shimmering moonbeams, roses in full bloom, etc…”It seems to me that for many people, love is a sort of vague, dreamy, emotional fog. But Scripture refuses to let love remain wall
Life in the Spirit. (Galatians 5: 13-26)
Send us Fan MailI once spoke with a woman who had spent years in a church a full of rules and regulations. When she finally moved to a church that simply taught Scripture without adding man‑made religious rules, she told me she felt something surprising: FEAR!Those rules, she said, had given her a sense of security. When they were gone, she felt exposed. I also remember a teenage girl I once met
Freedom in Christ. (Galatians 5: 1-12)
Send us Fan Mail For four chapters, he has been laying down argument after argument, Scripture after Scripture, illustration after illustration, pleading with them not to return to the bondage of the law.... But now the question he asks becomes: If we’re not going back to the law, then what kind of life do we live now?Beginning in chapter 5 — and running through the rest of the letter — he finall
What Do You Choose - Slavery or Freedom. (Galatians 4: 21–31)
Send us Fan MailIt seems that in the Apostle Paul’s day, some Jews, particularly a contingent based out of Jerusalem, followed him from newly established church to church and told the people there that in order to be truly acceptable to God, you also had to keep the Jewish religious rituals, called ‘The Law’. Now, in truth, a version of the same message still circulates today. But those who know t
Paul's Concern for People. (Galatians 4: 12-20)
Send us Fan MailWhen you read Paul’s letters, you quickly discover that he often writes a bit like a lawyer. Romans and Galatians especially feel like carefully constructed legal briefs—tight logic, precise argumentation, point building upon point. He’s persuading, reasoning, dismantling objections, and presenting the gospel with razor‑sharp clarity. And then today—right in the middle of all that
Becoming a Child of God. (Galatians 3:26-4:11)
Send us Fan MailMost Christians are quite comfortable saying, “We’re not under the civic law, and we’re not under the ceremonial law.” But when it comes to the moral law, many hesitate. We instinctively want to hold on to the Ten Commandments. So, let me ask the question plainly: Are Christians under the Mosaic Law in any way? That question has created controversy for centuries. In fact, in the fi
Why God Gave the Law. Paul's Answer. (Galatians 3: 19-25)
Send us Fan MailIf you read the book of Galatians, about the time you get to the middle of it, you may think, considering what Paul has just said, why did God give the law in the first place? Because when Paul talks about the law, he talks about it in such a way as to almost put it down. At times, it can almost seem like a tirade against the law. Not only can the law not save you if you're u
Why God Gave the Law in the First Place. (Galatians 3: 19-25)
Send us Fan MailIf you read the book of Galatians, about the time you get to the middle of it, you may think, considering what Paul has just said, that it is a very logical question. Paul begins to talk about the law, but he does so in a way that almost puts it down. And after you hear that, you can't help but wonder, well, then why did God give the law? He continues his seeming tirade again
The Objective Proof of The Gospel. (Galatians 3: 6-18)
Send us Fan MailThere’s an old saying: “He who has an argument is always at the mercy of the one who has had an experience.” And that’s true. When Christ has changed your life, someone else’s argument doesn’t carry much weight. It’s perfectly valid to appeal to your experience—up to a point. But there’s also a weakness in relying on experience alone. Experience can be misunderstood. It can be mis
The Subjective Proof of The Gospel. (Galatians 3: 1-5)
Send us Fan MailThere are moments in the Christian life when we suddenly realise we’ve drifted—subtly, quietly—back into trying to earn what God has already given us. We may start well in the Spirit, but somewhere along the way, the old habits of self‑effort creep back in. And if that has happened to you, then Paul’s words in Galatians 3 should hit us like a wake‑up call:In today’s episode, we’re

Pauls’ Defence of the Gospel. (Galatians 2: 11-14)
Send us Fan MailIn Philippians chapter 1, the Apostle Paul at one point says that he was appointed for the defence of the gospel. In Jude verse 3, Jude says that all Christians, not just those in leadership, are to contend earnestly for the faith. Now what is all that about? And how do you go about doing that? How does one defend the gospel or contend for the faith? Also where are you supposed to
