But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law.  Galatians 5:22-23 After spending the last few weeks talking about the fruits of the Spirit, let’s key in on the last few words of verse 23: “Against such things there is no law.”   Paul isn’t justContinue reading “Practical Proverbial, from Galatians, 27 July 2022.

 “For through the law I died to the law so that I might live for God.  Galatians 2:19 (NIV). The ancient Biblical law – the laws of Moses, the Old Testament, and the prophets – makes us conscious of how we can’t keep the law.   Because of that, we desperately need Jesus, who kept the lawContinue reading “Practical Proverbial, from Galatians, 14 February 2022.
