Galatians 1:1
“Paul, an apostle, not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised him from the dead.” Galatians 1:1 Paul started writing the epistle with an acknowledgement that his apostleship wasn’t appointed to him by man, but by God Himself. This means that the power vested in his ministry was not drawn from mere human desire and will, but from the Lord. It denotes that in his...
Galatians 1:4
“Who gave himself for our sins to deliver us from the present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father”. –Galatians 1:4 We live in a sin-tainted world. Everything in world has been inflicted by sin. The society we live in has its values compromised.

Psalm 103:5
“He fills my life with good things. My youth is renewed like the eagle’s.” – Psalm 103:5 It’s so easy to fall into the trap of claiming credit for the good things we have. We believe in statements like, “I enjoy the comfort of having a home because I worked hard for it,” “I’ve reached the pinnacle of my career because I was good enough and surely I deserved it,” and “I...
Acts 6:10
“But they could not stand up against the wisdom the Spirit gave Stephen as he spoke.” Acts 6:10 Stephen was one of the men appointed by the twelve apostles to lead the early church.

Eventually, there were Jewish religious leader who opposed him and began arguing with him. Remarkably, they could not...

Despite the fact that God had used him in so many mighty ways, such wasn’t a guarantee that there would be...
Psalm 11:4
“The LORD is in His holy temple; The LORD is on his heavenly throne. He observes everyone on earth; His eyes examine them.” Psalm 11:4 When David wrote this, it was the time when the tabernacle signified the very presence of God among the people of Israel. He knew how glorious God was, and how all-knowing He was that He could see through the hearts of men. What’s the implication of this now? In our time now, we...
Galatians 3:14
“He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.” – Galatians 3:14 Sadly, many people just don’t realize the implications of having Jesus Christ in one’s heart. Having surrendered your life to the Lord is the best decision you could ever do in life. Why? It is the best solution to...
Jeremiah 17:9
“The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?” (Jeremiah 17:9) “Follow your heart!” This advise can be so destructive more than you could ever imagine. It had brought so much trouble to the Jews. Their hearts were so far from God that they and their children clamored to worship idolatrous altars and Asherah Poles instead of God. That’s where exactly the problem lies, in...
