Delivered by the Death of Christ (Galatians 1:4)

As Christians, we recognize the importance of the death of Christ on the cross. In fact, it is impossible to overstate the importance of what He did. In that death He paid for the sins of the whole world (1 John 2:2). Because of that payment, all who believe in Him for eternal life are

Except for people with serious mental problems, nobody likes to exercise. However, I was in the military for the majority of my life, so I didn’t have a choice. Exercise usually involved running. To make it as painless as possible, I incorporated certain things into the routine. Sometimes I would run with fellow soldiers and

Do You Remember the Poor? (Galatians 2:9-10)

When James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that had been given to me, they gave me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, that we should go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised. They desired only that we should remember the poor, the very thing which I

In a classic scene from The Pink Panther Strikes Again, Inspector Clouseau walks into a German hotel and notices a small dog by the counter. “Does your dog bite?” he asks the hotelier. “No,” the old man answers. When Clouseau goes to pet the dog, it viciously attacks him and tries to chew off his

Grace in Ministry (Galatians 6:13-14)

Paul’s letter to the Galatians contrasts law-religion and grace-religion. The contrast applies not only to how you are justified before God, but also to how you live the Christian life. One of the differences between law-religion and grace-religion shows itself in the pressures to have a “successful” ministry. What usually counts as a successful ministry?

Burden Bearing (Galatians 6:1-6)

December 17, 2018 by Shawn Lazar in Blog - Christian living, Galatians, Sanctification, spirituality

I believe that Christian “spirituality” boils down to loving Jesus and loving your neighbor. There are some other elements, to be sure, but that’s the master theme. And this isn’t an emotional-sentimental love. It’s a practical, get-your-hands-dirty kind of love. It’s a give a hungry person a sandwich, or better yet, give him a job,

Big Business, Little Service (Gal 5:14)

Religious superstition is a huge industry. Who knows how many billions of dollars are spent every year on amulets, statues, candles, medallions, icons, relics, special foods, holy water, special breathing techniques, anointed oil, prayer cloths, grave soaking, and pilgrimages? I’ve been watching Leah Remini’s documentary on Scientology, and I was shocked to find out how
