Happy Wednesday Saints. Just in case the church in Galatia still didn’t get the Apostle Paul’s point, he states it again towards the end of his epistle. Galatians 6:15 “NEITHER CIRCUMCISION NOR UNCIRCUMCISION MEANS ANYTHING; WHAT COUNTS IS A NEW CREATION.” It didn’t matter whether a Jew was circumcised or if a Gentile was uncircumcised […]

Jesus Died on the Cross for our Transgressions; Let Us Boast Only in the Cross
Happy Tuesday Saints. Let’s look at the rest of Galatians 6:14. “MAY I NEVER BOAST EXCEPT IN THE CROSS OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, THROUGH WHICH THE WORLD HAS BEEN CRUCIFIED TO ME, AND I TO THE WORLD.” The Apostle Paul didn’t boast in himself, in others, in religious practices, or in his own achievements […]
If You Really Want to Get Over Yourself – Boast in Nothing Else but Jesus
If you really want to get over yourself, boast in nothing else and no one else - EXCEPT for JESUS.
You Will Reap Only What You Sow
Happy Wednesday Saints. Galatians 6:8b “WHOEVER SOWS TO PLEASE THE SPIRIT, FROM THE SPIRIT WILL REAP ETERNAL LIFE.” C.S. Lewis once said that “Every time you make a choice, you are turning the central part of you – the part that chooses – into something a little different than what it was before.” The choices […]
Whoever Sows to Please the Spirit will Reap Eternal Life
Happy Tuesday Saints. If you remember that Galatians 5 lists the difference between the ACTS OF THE FLESH and the FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT, then Galatians 6:7-8 will make more sense. It says, “DO NOT BE DECEIVED: GOD IS NOT MOCKED. A MAN REAPS WHAT HE SOWS. WHOEVER SOWS TO PLEASE THEIR FLESH WILL REAP […]
Anyone Intolerant of Others’ Struggles, is Unaware of their Own Imperfections
Happy Monday Saints. Galatians 6:3 “IF ANYONE THINKS THEY ARE SOMETHING WHEN THEY ARE NOT, THEY DECEIVE THEMSELVES.” The Apostle Paul is addressing those that he mentioned in Galatians 6:1 – those who LIVE BY THE SPIRIT. The spiritually mature Christian who helps to “RESTORE” other believers and support them with their heavy BURDENS must […]

The global campaign seeks to draw attention to the fact that equal opportunities are not enough to achieve true inclusion and belonging. As such, SVSG President Siliniu Lina Chang has made a […]
Remember that You are Only Human will Make You Less Judgemental and More Compassionate
Happy Friday Saints. Galatians 6:1b “BUT WATCH YOURSELVES OR YOU ALSO MAY BE TEMPTED.” Believers who LIVE BY THE SPIRIT and endeavour to RESTORE others who are CAUGHT IN SIN, must WATCH themselves and be careful in case they fall into TEMPTATION too. When you are restoring another believer who is caught in sin, you […]
Remain in God and You will Bear Much Fruit
Happy Wednesday Saints. Galatians 5:22-23 “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.” As we saw yesterday, the deeds of the FLESH are called “ACTS.” It’s an indication of what we, as human beings, can DO on our own […]
“Weeping may last for the night, but a shout of joy comes in the morning”
David experienced as many ups and downs, triumphs and sorrows as anyone in life. As a shepherd, giant-slayer, folk hero, warrior, fugitive, exile, father, and king, he had seen it all and was certainly no stranger to the unexpected and unpredictable nature of life. But in everything, David, who is referred to in the Bible […]
