     | 8,769 views

    Paul had explained to these Galatians converts that in Christ Jesus we are saved by grace through faith in His finished work on the cross, and not any thing pertaining to the Mosaic law.

    Time Spent In God's Word

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Aug 7, 2024
     | 1,340 views

    I wonder how much time each of you spend in God's Word each day. These numbers show a troubling imbalance in our lack of time spent in the Scripture and its damaging effect on our spiritual vitality.

    If we took a poll here in our church, I wonder how much time each of you spend in God's Word each day. Research shows that the average person is exposed to anywhere between 4,000 and 10,000 messages a day. You are probably thinking, "No way do I receive that many messages." But ...read more
