Grace From Galatians! (13 Of 19)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 8, 2022

This is the FIFTH APPEAL that Paul used to try and bring these Galatians to their spiritual senses. He is hoping they will reach a sensible solution to their problems.

But anytime you work with people and try to get them to arrive at the right conclusion, you find it is a difficult task to say the least. Some folks will go years and years making the same mistakes and getting the same results. It never seems to dawn on them that perhaps they are doing something ...read more

Soldiers Of Christ

Contributed by Les Buttolph on Nov 14, 2024

Nov 11 is Veteran's Day, and we are all veterans in Christ's Army. A comparison of His Army and our country's army.

Although tomorrow, Nov 11, is officially Veteran’s Day, we’re honoring our veterans who have or are serving in our Armed Forces, today.

Veterans Of The Cross

Contributed by Les Buttolph on Jan 20, 2023

On this Veteran's Day celebration, we remember veterans of our military, but we are all veterans of Christ's Army

Even though Veteran’s Day is Friday, November 11, it’s important enough to celebrate it on this Sunday before the holiday. Unlike Memorial Day when we honor those who died while serving, Veterans Day celebrates the service of all U.S. military veterans. Originally it was called Armistice Day, ...read more

No Life On Mars

Contributed by John Gaston on Feb 1, 2023

When Paul went to "Mars" Hill in Athens he found no spiritual life there. Though Greece had made a great contribution to the world's philosophy and thought, it's offering for salvation was empty. But there was life on Mars when Paul left!

NO LIFE ON MARS Acts 17:22-31 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. Today I was at the hospital with someone and they remarked how that when they went in for surgery last time, the doctor drew a big picture on their side so he wouldn’t operate on the wrong side. With all that education, you'd wonder how ...read more

The Reason We Submit To Authority Series

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Dec 15, 2021

Obedience that originates from this kind of fear of penalty is not true obedience. That is the reason why the apostle Paul exhorts us in Romans 13:5, that our obedience must stem from our conscience and not because we fear the consequences of disobedience.

The Reason We Submit to Authority In Romans 13:5 we read, “We must obey therefore, not only in order to escape punishment, but also for conscience' sake.” (WNT) All of us are familiar with the principle that if we don’t obey rules and submit to those in authority, we will get punished, and ...read more

You Can’t Cheat The Harvest!

Contributed by Anitha Jabastion on Oct 8, 2025

There are many laws that govern our world - the law of gravity, the law of motion, the law of cause and effect. But Paul reminds us of another law, the spiritual law of sowing and reaping. It’s a principle that works silently, steadily, and surely. You can’t break it, you can only prove it true.

The Price Of Truth

Contributed by Dan Erickson on Nov 21, 2000

A willingness to speak the truth, even if that truth is not popular, is a great virtue.

One of my favorite stories is The Emperor's New Clothes. It is the tale about an Emperor who was swindled by a supposed tailor. The man claims to sew a new, special suit for the Emperor. It is special because only those who are wise will see the clothes, while those who are foolish will find them ...read more
