The Fullness of Time
Galatians 4:4 “But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son.” Acts 1:7 “He said to them, ‘It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by his own authority.’” Have you ever considered how the God Who created time is in sovereign control over…

Precious Moments
Galatians 6:10 “So then, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.” Yesterday I had a wonderful time fishing for bass on the Juniata River.

Uncle George
Acts 26:9-11 “I myself was convinced that I ought to do many things in opposing the name of Jesus of Nazareth. And I did so in Jerusalem.

Galatians 6:14 “But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.” Do you love the world, i.e., the systems of this world and the things the world loves? Do you love its viewpoints – the popular…

Heaven’s crowns
Galatians 6:9 “And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.” So much of our service to Christ seems, at least at the moment, to be inconsequential. It can seem that no matter how much we pray, or how often we share…

Bearing spiritual fruit
Galatians 5:22 – 23 “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.” The fruit of the Spirit should be manifested in every Christians’ life.
