Keep reading my friends.  I wrote something for today but it was 3200 words and loaded with stuff I need to think on another night before posting.

Put simple: Boy does Galatians apply for today!

Keep reading as much as you can in Galatians, Obadiah and the Psalms 1-14. I finally feel like I am following the logic of Galatians and its message is becoming clearer everyday.

In the comments below, feel free to ask your questions of the books we are readying. I would love to discuss them in future blog posts.

  Romans 3:1-18 Answers Questions to Go Deeper “Then” is translated “therefore” by some translations.  “Therefore” best points to the Greek text.  What would Paul be referencing with with “therefore”? His previous discourse on the Jewish person’s state of condemnation despite their identity as Jews. Based on Paul’s answer in verse 2 He knows the answer to the two questions before he asks them.  Why would he use these two questions? Who would he be speaking for in the two questions?

Believers, thankfully, have the Spirit abiding in us to convict and encourage us to look to Christ. Yet this life involves a continuous dying to self.   So bringing children into this world and raising them for the glory of God is the aim.  But at times there is a desperation that comes over you that says, “I can’t change my child’s heart and I can’t make them love Jesus!”  Therefore the believing parent is always crying out to their Abba Father, “Help Father, I can’t father like You!”   I will never forget the joy and desperation that came over me when my wife told me she was pregnant with our son.  See, ...

For all our days have declined in Your fury; We have finished our years like a sigh. As for the days of our life, they contain seventy years, Or if due to strength, eighty years,Yet their pride is but labor and sorrow; For soon it is gone and we fly away. Who understands the power of Your anger And Your fury, according to the fear that is due You? So teach us to number our days, That we may present to You a heart of wisdom. Psalm 90: 7–12  The coronavirus is officially a pandemic .  What does this mean?   An official definition is given by the World Health Organization (WHO):  ...an epidemic occurring worldwide, or over a very wide area, crossing international boundaries and usually affecting a large number of people.   As of March 2020...
