“grace And Peace Are Yours!”

Contributed by Daniel Habben on Dec 22, 2013

Cherish and share God's Christmas greeting.

It’s a topic that perhaps drives you nuts. Is it “Merry Christmas,” or “Season’s Greetings”? “Blessed Christmas,” or “Happy Holidays”? Which greeting do you prefer? I believe most Christians would say they like a greeting with the word ...read more

Jesus The Servant: Boundless Stores Of Grace

Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 11, 2010

Christmas Sunday 1987: The way to be free is to give oneself away, as Jesus did. We exalt Him because He became servant of all. That is the way to freedom for us too.

At Christmas time, all the rules change. At Christmas time, the boundaries get opened up and widened. Children who for eleven and a half months of the year are told, “We can't afford that, suddenly are permitted to spring to Santa's knee and express their desires for the latest and most ...read more

Grace From Galatians (2 Of 19)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 7, 2022

At the beginning of the Book of Galatians, we saw that Paul dealt with two problems.

(1) HE HAD TO DEFEND HIS APOSTLESHIP Those who hated Paul were stating that he was not a true apostle. Ministers go into the ministry for a number of reasons: • Some think it is an easy job, SO WHY NOT • Some folks enjoy being in front of people • Some are in the ministry because Mommy wanted a ...read more

Grace From Galatians (3 Of 19)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 7, 2022

In chapter one, we find Paul defending his calling and the gospel which he preached. There were those who were saying that he was a self-proclaimed minister preaching a false gospel.

Because of the things that are being said about Paul, he says some things about himself that might seem to be bragging in his defense. Look at Galatians 1:13-24, we read, “For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews' religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church ...read more

Grace From Galatians (4-19)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 7, 2022

As children, our parents told us things that they felt were best for us, but we often thought we knew more than they did.

Isn’t it amazing how children, in the short time they have been here on earth, seem to think they are able to accumulate more knowledge than us old timers who have been around 60 or 70 years? But in all fairness, I have met some parents whose children were smarter than they were, and that does not ...read more

Grace From Galatians (5-19)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 7, 2022

This far into the book of Galatians, I hope you have developed a fondness for this wonderful book.

Those who have come from churches that taught legalism all their life have a greater appreciation for the book of Galatians than those who have been taught salvation by grace all their life. • Those who have been raised in the church all their life and came to know the Lord at an a age, do not ...read more

Grace From Galatians (6-19)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 7, 2022

It seems we make excuses and promises about many of the things we do. We do this in many ways, such as, each year we make promises to ourselves.

We call them New Year’s resolutions. But so often we MAKE THESE PROMISES and then we BREAK THEM! Illus: Did you hear about the man who got tired of making these promises and breaking them? He got so disgusted with himself that he came up with a list of Resolutions he felt he could keep. He said ...read more

Grace From Galatians (8 Of 19)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 7, 2022

One of the exciting things in the Christian life is to see someone come to know the Lord as their Savior. To know without a doubt that they have been gloriously saved from the bondage of sin.

However, one of the saddest things in the Christian life is to see someone who professes to know the Lord but lives their life in such a way as to cast doubt on their salvation. Illus: Evangelist Ding Teuling is often asked how many were converted in some of his meetings. He tells them he really ...read more

Grace From Galatians (9 Of 19)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 7, 2022

One of the problems in the political arena is that we have politicians that are more loyal to their party than they are to their constituents.

They are more interested in trying to make us all Republicans or all Democrats than they are in trying to help the people that put them into office. President Bill Clinton seemed to be the exception to this rule, he seemed to have other interests. Illus: The story is told that Hillary Clinton ...read more

Grace From Galatians (10 Of 19)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 7, 2022

We are looking at the five different appeals that Paul used in dealing with these Galatians.

In the first appeal, he dealt with them about three things: • He appealed to their PAST • He appealed to their PRESENT • He appealed to their PREDICAMENT In this second appeal, he appeals to their love for him and how he should be treated by them. • Being a Minister of the Gospel is considered by ...read more

Grace From Galatians (11 Of 19)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 7, 2022

Paul knew how much these Galatians held Abraham in high esteem.

He takes this knowledge that they had of Abraham and uses it as he makes his third of the five appeals to them. Paul had no problem regarding the spiritual roots believers have in Abraham, because God's promises were clearly made to him. But he wanted them to know that having the PROMISED ...read more

Grace From Galatians (12 Of 19)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 8, 2022

This is Paul’s fourth appeal to try to get them to come to their senses.

As we have seen, Paul does not understand why these backsliding Galatian Christians wanted to return to the bondage of the law. In this appeal, he seems to appeal to their common sense, something that many in this country seem to have lost. Illus: I saw this sad announcement and thought about ...read more
