I started reading 1 Corinthians today. It looks like most of chap 1 is one two things: division and you being nothing. God chose the foolish to shame the strong, that doesn’t mean you’re strong now! God is still using you in your foolishness! He is still using you in your weakness and nothingness. If […]
Oh Me, A Silly Galatian!
More and more I am learning that I’ve been taught the wrong things and I’ve been teaching the wrong things and the right things are a lot more complicated and a lot more simple than I could have ever believed. Look at Gal 6 sow to please the Spirit, carry your own load and carry […]
How to Have a Great Impact

There are 2 interesting verses in Galatians 4 Galatians 4.11 I fear for you, that somehow I have wasted my efforts on you. Galatians 4.15 What has happened to all your joy? I can testify that, if you could have done so, you would have torn out your eyes and given them to me. The […]
