Full Circle

Full Circle Galatians Part 11 This is the last post in the Galatians series, and has taken me a long time. What was supposed to be a sprint through the book turned into a bit of a slog. It was meant to have been written in some pool time on Holiday in Morocco in September, …

On your way down

On your way down Galatians part 10 The American rock band Little Feat sang, It's high time that you found The same people you misuse on your way up You might meet up On your way down. The Apostle Paul would have loved that song. Here's his version: Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, …

No law?

No law? Galatians part 9 This must be the the most read bit of the book of Galatians:  But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, …

It isn’t nice

It isn't nice Galatians part 8 Have you ever been told off because what you have said in church isn't nice? It seems that any language that isn't nice should not be said, especially if we sound angry. Bear this in mind as we look at what Paul says next in Galatians: For freedom Christ …

"To give the impression that the Holy Spirit cannot take place in those who are not “like us”, is a dangerous temptation." - Pope Francis.

Spirit Galatians Part 5 We say someone has spirit, we comment on a spirited performance. Oyr spirit is where our drive and energy come from. I said earlier that I was going to comment on what Paul said about the Holy Spirit in Galatians Chapter 3. It isn't that far from what I've said above. …

Quarantine and baby sitting

Quarantine and baby sitting Galatians Part 4 Here on holiday in Morocco a frequent sound is that of the Islamic call to prayer. You can set your watch by it. In fact I have not brought my watch to the pool. The call means it is either 1:45 or 5 o' clock, time to leave …

Belonging

Belonging Galatians Part 3 A shorter blog this time. I am writing this blog from the side of a swimming pool in Agadir, Morocco. I am clearly not a Moroccan, just a British tourist. Even if I moved here, ate like the locals, learnt the language and accent of the locals, dressed like a local …

Hot potatoes

Hot Potatoes Galatians Part 2 It is said that you should never mix religion and politics. Nobody thought to tell that to the Apostle Paul. Then after three years I went up to Jerusalem to visit Cephas and remained with him fifteen days. But I saw none of the other apostles except James the Lord’s …
