Paul had gone to great lengths as he tried to show these Galatians the foolishness of being swayed by these false teachers, who asserted that while we are saved by grace, we are still obligated to keep the Law of God perfectly or we would lose our salvation.

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Apr 25, 2025

Jesus gave His disciples a commission to go and preach; to not only do good deeds, but use words. He would provide them food, clothing, and shelter for their journey, and the Spirit would guide them to those receptive to the gospel.

Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Mar 25, 2023

This world is in disarray because of the weight of sin and departure from God. When the light of God is rejected, then darkness clasps the person’s hand, and leads him into its own dark domain. We look at the folly of idolatry, and the world in freefall.
