Paul encourages us to bear each other's burdens, to boast in the Lord and not grow weary in doing good - for in due time, we will reap if we do not give up! He also tells us that each of us will have to bear our own loads and that we should not be in the business of comparing our work or our lives to others - because our "lot" and circumstances are…

Galatians Chapter 5 is so rich! Paul encourages the Galatian believers: "It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery." (Galatians 5:1) We do not have to strive to earn our salvation. In fact, that won't even work! Paul makes it clear to the Galatian believers that…

When we put our faith in Christ, we are ADOPTED as sons and daughters into God's family. This is such a powerful truth that should cause us to pause and reflect! Paul encourages believers in Galatia that they are co-heirs with Christ and will inherit the kingdom of God!! Have you ever considered what it means to be a co-heir with Christ? To be adop…

Paul's overwhelming message in Galatians Chapter 3 is that God's people are justified (or made right) with God through FAITH IN CHRIST ALONE. There is nothing we can do to earn our salvation. And so we don't have to spend our lives trying to be "good enough" or "righteous enough" to be saved. It is only through God's GRACE that salvation is possibl…

Let's jump in to Galatians chapter 2! Paul continues to defend and clarify the gospel! A faction of people have made their way into the Galatian churches who believe that circumcision is required for salvation.

Paul writes to clarify and defend the "truth of the Gospel" in the face of a false gospel.

The gospel of Jesus is the gospel of FREEDOM. It sets us free from slavery. Paul, the author of Galatians, spent years in the prison of legalism. He wrote Galatians to clarify the gospel. He wanted to make sure the new believers in Galatia did not grow up subject to the bondage of religion and miss the FREEDOM in Christ entirely! Galatians was writ…

Three tests support the trustworthiness of Scripture: the bibliographic test, the external test and the internal test. These three tests are commonly used to examine the historical nature of ancient pieces of literature. The Bibliographic Test examines the Biblical manuscripts themselves, and looks at the quantity and quality of the surviving manus…

Despite the fact that the Bible is a total of sixty-six books, written by over forty authors, in three different languages, on three different continents, over a span of 1400-1600 years, it is theologically consistent - supporting and affirming the Bible's claim that the authors were inspired by the Holy Spirit in all they wrote. #discipleship #apo…

There are over 2,500 prophecies in the Bible! Over 2,000 have been fulfilled with remarkable precision and we wait anxiously for the final 500 to be fulfilled!

Fostering kids - like parenting generally - has been incredibly humbling and such an incredible sanctifying tool the Lord is using to refine me. The Lord is ever-teaching me that I do not always know what's best (even though I may think I do), that I do not know what His good and perfect will aims to accomplish and that it's not my job to be preocc…

We are all already apologists anyway! Did you know that? We make defenses for ourselves, our friends and family more than you even realize!

What is the study of apologetics? Let's discuss why it's so important for us to be able to make a defense of our faith - and how that BLESSES both the hearer and our own faith walk! Jesus was the ultimate apologist! He consistently put on display evidence (miracles performed, prophecies fulfilled, etc.) in order that people might believe in Him, as…

There are simply certain truths that are OBJECTIVELY true or false. Yet we live in a culture where we increasingly hear the assertions: "well, that is your truth" or "that may be true for you, but not for me."

Objective truth is true for everyone, regardless of whether we believe it or not!

Let's discuss and define "subjective" truth! What is Subjective Truth? Why does it matter that we understand and can identify these truth claims?

It's vitally important that we understand subjective truth so that we won't be manipulated into believing that we must affirm and …

Let's define truth and discuss what is NOT truth! By understanding what constitutes truth we can more readily recognize lies when we see or hear them. Let's continue to build our knowledge base so that we can filter what we receive from media outlets and the culture against what we know to be true.De către grittygospelchristy

Christianity is not an anti-intellectual faith! In fact, repeatedly throughout the word of God, Jesus calls us to exercise logic and reason and examine the evidence before us! Jesus does NOT ask us to have blind faith, but fills the Bible with evidence "so that we may believe and have life in His name!" Watch this video with your kids!…

TRUTH matters! We live in a post-christian culture that argues there is no objective truth, and that truth really doesn't matter - because you should live your truth and I should live mine. HOWEVER, truth is real and we are impacted by it in real and personal ways every day! Listen in to hear more!De către grittygospelchristy

Y'all. In the event you don't know this about me - I'm stubborn. And strong-willed. And driven. And the Lord wrestled with me and softened my heart as He called me out of my career. With a six-figure-salary. The career I'd worked so hard to attain. So much education. Lots of late nights studying. And yet, He said it was time to lay it down for the …

As parents, we must embrace the title of "missionary" to reach those the Lord has planted under our feet, in our homes and out in the local community (and anywhere else he calls us)!
