An ancient theologian - St. Augustine - suggested that "the answer to the mystery of the universe is God and the answer to the mystery of God is Christ." If this is so then I would like to make a further suggestion: the answer to the mystery of Christ is to be found in His sacrificial spirit, the supreme evidence of...

Lee masTHE whole world lieth in the wicked one, as the devoted child in the arms of Moloch; or as the putrid corpse in the grave, over which is written, "HERE LIETH." We were once dead in sin, and buried in corruption, but Jesus Christ interfered for us. "He gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from the present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father." The world is evil, therefore we are delivered from it. Jesus died to deliver us from its spirit, by which we are...
Versículos de la Biblia: Galatians 1:4
Lee masBy these words our Lord indicates that we cannot at the same time seek man's approbation and the approval of God. He also affirms that once we embark on a quest for human accreditation, we have dealt a body-blow to the life of faith.
In similar vein the Apostle Paul expresses the moral inconsistency between coveting man's praise and God's: "…for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ" (Galatians 1:10 b).
Let me...

God… was pleased to reveal His Son in me.
(Galatians 1:15,16 NIV)
Spiritual discernment, perception,
understanding and intelligence are all too rare. The causes are many. The
engrossment with the work and its multifarious concerns; the rush and hurry of
life; the restless spirit of the age; these, with an exhaustive provision of
external religious...

Some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. (Galatians 1:7 NIV)
It does not require a great deal of
intelligence in order to recognize that, throughout the history of God's work,
the master-stroke of the great perverter has been confusion. God is not the God
of confusion, but of order. Satan is the god of confusion. To get...

I did not receive it from any man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ. (Galatians 1:12 ESV)
Those of us who have tasted of this world's springs have recognized the kinship between what is there and what is in religion so far as that soul-nature is concerned. It is only a matter of difference of realm, not of nature. What the music and drama of the...

Lee masIt pleased God… to reveal His Son in me. (Galatians 1:15,16)
If Christ, the Son of God’s love, is central and supreme in the heart of the believer so much else goes down, it must go down. Controversies with God will divide, but those artificial things, those things resultant from man’s activity and his projecting of himself, insinuating of himself into the interests of God, those things cannot abide where...

God... has
shone in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God
in the face of Jesus Christ. (2 Corinthians 4:6)
The Letter to
the Galatians really can be summed up in this way: a Christian is not one who
does this and that and another thing which is prescribed to be done; a
Christian is not one who refrains from doing this...

Lee masI neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but
it came through the revelation of Jesus Christ. (Galatians 1:12)
The certainty and
the assurance that was right at the root of his Christian life and
service came because of this one thing: he'd seen everything in Jesus.
Everything... in Jesus. What liberation that brought to him! What
emancipation!...

For Reading and Meditation: Matthew 27:32-44
What humiliation and shame our Lord endured for us on the cross of Calvary. Cicero, a Roman philosopher, said of crucifixion: "Far be the very name of a cross not only from the bodies of Roman citizens, but from their imaginations, eyes and ears." But He, our Lord, though sinless, was crucified on a cross. Although...
