Years ago, and in another life, I had a feisty personal assistantAlthough she is genuinely compassionate, she had a favorite line: “Get over yourself”- I think that held her together through a hard and complicated season of her life• she said it to herself, to he friends, to people who called the church office for help,◦ and more than once she said it to me–her boss• but she never said it when I didn't need to hear it◦ Paul's next lesson in this letter to the Galatians is, “Get over yourself”- the chapter break here is unfortunate• his contrast between the works of flesh and fruit of Spirit ended at chapter 5, verse 25◦ verse 26 fits perfectly with where chapter 6◦ now he begins to stress the importance of caring for each other• “conceit” interferes with that personal care◦ rather than assisting each other, conceit provokes others◦ rather than respecting others, conceit envies others“Get over yourself so you can be here for those who need you”

I assume most of us are familiar with The Message BibleOne of the more popular versions, and easiest to understand– Eugene Peterson did not set out to write a new translation• beginning in early 1980's the U.S. economy went into a slump and mortgage interest rates were rapidly climbing◦ people in his church were feeling the pinch, and reacting in the same way as people in townPeterson, “Paranoia infected the small talk I would overhear on street corners and in barbershops. To my dismay, all of this seeped into my congregation without encountering any resistance.”• to turn them from worldly concerns and find freedom in Jesus, he chose to immerse them in Galatians

If you ever decide to read the Bible all the way through,At some point, you will find yourself struggling to understand it– even if you've been a believer for a long time and read it before (or read a kiddie version)• a passage will confuse you, trouble, or just seem wrong◦ I'm fortunate to have many helpful resources• however, when even those study aids leave me with questions◦ then I resort to creative thought experiments; for instance, I ask, “what if”◦ what if this were meant to frustrate? or be a puzzle? or experienced rather than studied?– there have been occasions when these “off trail” ventures,• have led me to surprising and edifying insights

For the last month or two, I've noticed a trend– people are using a “Jesus image” in a variety of video posts• like a famous celebrity, he's immediately recognizable◦ there's the trademark long hair and beard, the robe, and sandals◦ his image is used to promote an ideal, or to criticize, ridicule, or make fun of something• three observations immediately come to mind:◦ first, the image is used for propaganda purposes◦ second, they're all impersonators third, not one of these characters is the real Jesus– Galatians is Paul's attempt to rescue his readers from impersonators

On this episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson, we confront the horrific attack at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis. The shooter, Robert “Robin” Westman, once walked those same halls as a student. Years of unchecked mental illness and spiritual rebellion ended in bloodshed.America is in denial. We refuse to face the truth: the transgender movement is built on a Satanic lie. No one can change the sex God gave them. Pretending otherwise doesn't heal broken souls, it destroys them and puts others in danger.Christians must speak plainly. Love does not mean affirming sin or confusion. Love means pointing people back to Christ, who alone gives us our identity. Until our nation repents and turns back to God, tragedies like this will only increase.Pray for the victims and their families.--https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee
In the first half of this chapter, Paul scolded the GalatiansYou know how sometimes, as a parent,- when you're very worried about your child–maybe they did not arrive home on time• when they finally show up, your worry turns to anger◦ if ever our lectures were rougher than they needed to be,◦ it was because we had agonized over their safety• I think that's a little piece of what is happening here◦ Paul has called the Galatians "foolish" and asked "Who has bewitched you?"◦ that is because they had him worried about the stability of their faith- it is often the people who are most concerned with pleasing God,• that are misled by false preachers and teachers◦ they desire so much to be absolutely right with God that they fall victim to someone who seems knowledgeable• anyway, Paul' agitation rises to the surface in these short, clipped statements that barely say enough- here in verse 15, he presents Abraham as an example of being true to a promise

Do I need to mention that Paul does not try to hide his frustration with the Galatians?To our ears, his language--"foolish" and "Who has bewitched you?" sounds offensive- later on he will say, if they've truly taken this wrong path,“You are severed from Christ . . . you have fallen away from grace” (Gal. 5:4)• he doesn't mince words, because he's terrified for their sake◦ he wants to make the strongest possible impression on them• and this is just the beginning- we're going to spend some time in verse 1• first, because the truth in it is so rich and enlightening• second, because here Paul constructs a foundation for everything else
Three outstanding women of God share their stories with Mike in this episode. Lizzie Morgan is a well-known and very talented singer, known for her work with Maverick City and on tour with Lauren Daigle. Her new album is ready to release. Kathy Gratto is the Executive Director of SIRA Women's Clinic in Gainesville, and finally Faith Broussard Cade talks about Season 4 of "Jesus Calling," a show that is on the UP FAITH & FAMILY network.
Paul has shared with the Galatians a brief autobiographyHe completed it with a story about his run-in with Peter- when Peter first came to the Gentile church in Antioch,• he allowed the wall between Jews and Gentiles to collapse◦ but when rigid and dogmatic believers arrived from Judea,◦ he broke away from close contact with Gentile believers• how sad, when a person withdraws from generous gestures,◦ ones that represents acceptance and camaraderie,◦ and make the break for fear of being attacked by narrow-minded zealots- somewhere along the way, Paul left off telling his story• it was a backdrop for the point he wanted to make;• namely, Jesus--and not the law--works God's righteousness into believers
Rick Robins has a long history in working with Non-Profits, and he has brought that experience to a major ministry in Central Florida.

They assist those needing a better paying job to bolster their experience, tutoring them to become gainfully employed, while also serving by providing one of the area's most robust job fairs. Rick is joined by Welton James, joining Mike in this episode.
If you remember from last week, Paul is telling his storyNow, at the end of his autobiography he mentions Peter (Cephas)– this is the only record of them ever having a personal encounter• as Paul approaches the primary purpose of his letter• he uses this story to illustrate his central point– the leaders of the Church in Jerusalem recognizedthe difference between his ministry and Peter's“they saw that I had been entrusted with the gospel to the uncircumcised, just as Peter had been entrusted to the circumcised” (v. 7)• he used those “circumcision” terms to distinguish between Gentiles and Jews, because he wanted to make a point• they all belonged to Jesus, but Jewish believers had an obligation that did not apply to Gentiles◦ circumcision is shorthand for all the laws of Moses
In spite of the questions and confusion around the topic of hearing from God, the Bible still has much to say about living our lives while walking by and with the Holy Spirit. How do we hear from God? Are the gifts mentioned in the New Testament for us? These topics are discussed with Pastor Pat McGuffin from Freedom Fellowship, and a member of his church, author and teacher Dr. Ray Self.

Last week we ventured into Paul's letter to the GalatiansRight away we learned that he was not pleased with these Christians- he accused them of deserting Jesus for “another gospel”• but he hasn't defined that other gospel specifically• that's what he does in the next section of the letter that we will cover today- beginning in verse 11, Paul writes a brief autobiography• he does this because his personal history tells a story• as we make our way through this passage I'm going to include details supplied by the Book of Acts◦ that will give us a fuller perspective of the problem in the region of Galatia
On this edition of "The Mike Gilland Show," Mike talks with Christian Musician Seph Schlueter about his new album, and his path to being a professional musician.

Also in this podcast, Mike welcomes good friend John Crossman, who himself is host to two podcasts, both produced by Mike. They talk about one of John's recent guests, Danny Jenkins from ThreatLocker, a cyber security company, and a clip from John's podcast is included in this episode.
I'm going to make this simple, and show you what I see in the introduction to this letterFirst, there's something different about the way it begins- in Paul's usual typical greetings he identifies himself, his title, and whoever else is with him• then, he greets and blesses his readers with, “grace and peace”• but in this letter, before he mentions his companions, he takes a detour◦ he turns this simple greeting into a strong assertion- humans had nothing to do with Paul becoming an apostleit was “not from man nor through man”- this cuts to the heart of what Paul wants to say in this letter• he'll spend most of the first two chapters with autobiography◦ how he was inspired and the revelations that came to him• but that is because Paul is very upset, as will become obvious◦ if you've ever been “lectured” by a parent, a police officer, or a teacher,◦ you will recognize how Paul is dealing with the Galatians

For a few weeks we've been bouncing around in ScripturesNext week we'll settle into something more consistent,- and I've chosen to hike through Paul's letter to the Galatians• but not today–• my talk this morning will be another random meditation- what I will say about this letter,• Paul was not at all pleased with the churches in the region of Galatia◦ he had introduced them to a life in God through Jesus◦ but others had followed Paul with a “distorted gospel”• so the Christian faith was represented by two different forms◦ the distorted version emphasized a deadly legalism◦ Paul's version was a new life in the Spirit of God“Let me ask you only this: Did you receive the Spirit by the works of the law or by hearing with faith? Are you so foolish? Having begun by the Spirit, are you now being perfected by the flesh?” (Gal. 3:2-3)- I believe this letter identifies a problem that's prevalent today
Read the article.The Bible is replete with commands regarding the intersection of money and ministry: “Freely give” (Matt 10:8), don't be “peddlers of God's Word” (2 Cor 2:17), “you cannot serve God and money” (Matt 6:24), etc. Clearly, ministry is a task fraught with danger; it is no wonder James warns that not many should become teachers (James 3:1).Given these concerns, how are those who advance the Word of God to Christians to honor the Lord financially? They must guard against greed in their own hearts, but they also must demonstrate their good intentions before man (2 Cor 8:21). The work of ministry requires resources, but to charge the hearers a fee may solicit accusations of using godliness as a means of gain (1 Tim 6:5).One supposed remedy is to donate the profits. If someone receives none—or only a small amount—of the revenue, then they have at least demonstrated some level of generosity. In theory, this evidences a sincere heart that only desires to honor God.sellingjesus.org | thedoreanprinciple.org | copy.church
Today Joe explores Theosis, a teaching that sometimes doesn’t get enough attention in the West, but arguably is the entire reason God created us. Joe shows you how theosis has been revealed in Scripture and how the Church Fathers tried to wrestle with this amazing concept. Transcript: Joe: Welcome back to Shameless Popery. I’m Joe Heschmeyer and I want to talk today about a Christian doctrine that sounds heretical. If I just go around saying, I believe that if I’m holy when I die, I’ll become a God or I’ll become God. Many people’s heresy alarm is just going...
Pastor Allen was a preacher in Small Town, U.S.A. Relaxing at home one evening he settled into his recliner, pushed his reading glasses up to the bridge of his nose, and reached over to his side-table for something to take his mind off of work. He could have picked up one of the magazines lying there, or a novel with a bookmark where he left off, or if all else failed the TV remote. He accidently grabbed his Bible.Normally, when worn out in the evening, all he wanted was a distraction; anything that didn't require exertion. The Bible, however, was “work.” He was never able to read it in a light-hearted way or for entertainment. The Bible required a serious attitude. One needed to come to it with reverence, humility, and focused attention.His inner voice told him, “Read this.” So he chose to glance at a couple verses and move on. Without looking for any particular place to begin, he let his Bible fall open wherever it would, only being careful not to land in the Old Testament. Looking down he found himself in the Gospel of Matthew, chapter 8. Skipping to the red letters, he began to read and heard Jesus saying, “I tell you, many will come from east and west and recline with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven, while the sons of the kingdom will be thrown into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.”
