This is a significantly updated version of an earlier teaching on the first few verses of Galatians 5.

We are not tasked with revealing deeper knowledge leading to great spiritual maturity. We need not master convoluted doctrines and back them up with unassailable logic. On the contrary, as ministers of the New Covenant, we do not need to have an agenda with people. Rather, we are called to present the Good News of Jesus Christ as we have opportunit…

Stymied growth is the natural outcome of religious rule-keeping because it takes the focus off the True Source who energizes us and turns it toward our own performance. This is not where life is found. Obeying the truth is not adherence to a list of rules, edicts, or laws. Obeying the truth is living by faith. It is entrusting our wellbeing to God.…

Too many of God's children feel guilty, ashamed, even fearful because their attitudes and actions do not reflect the new heart and new spirit they've been given.
