Be careful whom you listen to! Galatians 5:7-9

Galatians 5:7–8

You were doing so well until someone talked you out of obeying the truth. This persuasion did not come from Him who calls you.

Note carefully,

Creativity is a major part of God's image

We are made in the image of God.

Then God said, “Let us make human beings in our image, to be like us. They will reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the livestock, all the wild animals on the earth, and the small animals that scurry along the ground.”

So

Maintaining spiritual security in the midst of a war

Before we get started on this we need to talk about some basics of warfare. Rest assured, it would be extremely easy to prove to you (if you don’t already know) that the Christian walk is warfare. As a soldier on duty, you have some things

Verse 4:21–31

Tell me now, you who have become so enamored with the law: Have you paid close attention to that law? Abraham, remember, had two sons: one by the slave woman and one by the free woman. The son of the slave woman was born by human scheming; the son of the free woman

Are you sure God wants to heal you? Gal 4:12-15

Accused of being religious?

Does this image have anything to do with reality? Not really.

What a horrible thing that is! I am certainly not religious
