Who hinders you from obeying the truth?
(Galatians 5:7-8) These two verses pose an important question, probably more important today than it was when the Apostle Paul wrote it. The doctrine of the early church was being polluted by false teaching. The church had been infiltrated by teachers and preachers who were leading the people astray by teaching things that had no…

Curse Of The Law
(Galatians 3:10) If ever there was a verse in the Bible that should lead us to seek the freedom from law that is offered through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, it is this verse. It reads as follows. For all who rely on works of the law are under a curse; for it…

What Is Holding You Back
(2 Corinthians 6:11-13) What is holding you back? Are you seeking to be a “better Christian” but can’t seem to achieve what you are looking for? And do you really know what it is you are actually looking for as a Christian? Many people have an ideal in their mind as to what it means…

Faultless Ministry
(2 Corinthians 6:3-10) Those of us who teach and preach the word of God need to listen very carefully to the words in this section of scripture. Our work is ministry and ministering to the spiritual needs of those we come into contact with. Our work is to feed people with spiritual food so as…
