Why Galatians?
I’ll admit it. The writings of Paul feel like home to me. If there is a place I want to make a beeline to in the Bible, outside of John’s Gospel, it’s the letters of Paul. But Galatians has always been a challenge for me. And in the spirit of leaning into a good challenge,…

A Helpful Reminder
He said to them, “Because of your hardness of heart Moses allowed you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so. – Matthew 19:8 I do not intend this to be a treatise on divorce, as the context of this passage might be well used to address, but rather a reminder…
