The Joy of Giving

Read Nehemiah 8:1-3, 9-12.  This day of great joy was accompanied by the giving of gifts.  Throughout history people have shared the joy of giving with others.

Giving began with God!  We have all probably received gifts that were the wrong size, wrong color, wrong style or even defective in some way.  But God’s gifts are always perfect.  (James 1:17)  The psalmist declared, “Yes, the Lord will give what is good.”  (Psalms 85:12)  Also Jehovah is unchanging in His nature and character – “no shadow of turning.”   He always and forever will give good gifts.  The text describes God as the “Father of lights”, the giver of light.  (Genesis 1:14-18)  This gift of light is the basic source of energy for us here on earth.  He will be our source of life in heaven.  (Revelation: 22:5)

Galatians 1:16-21

"to reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the Gentiles; straightway I conferred not with flesh and blood neither went I up to Jerusalem to them that were apostles before me: but I went away into Arabia; and again I returned unto Damascus."

A Quiet and Gentle Spirit

What does it mean to have a gentle and quiet spirit?  Some people mistakenly think that a gentle and quiet spirit is displayed when one never speaks.  Certainly sometimes a quiet spirit will be exhibited by silence, but not always. A quiet person can be all worked up on the inside while being perfectly composed on the outside.  A Christian that is secure in the confidence of their faith in God is gentle and quiet.  They are not overcome with worry and anxiety. This gentle and quiet spirit is a calm, peaceful spirit. It is a tamed spirit, a gentled spirit which has been brought under the control of the one who is responsible for it. 

A quiet spirit does not engage in idle talk. 
A Quiet Spirit refrains from reviling speech. 

A quiet and gentle person does not speak deceitfully to others. 
A quiet and gentle person controls their temper.
A gentle and quiet spirit does not speak evil of one another. 

A quiet and gentile spirit avoids foolish and ignorant disputes.  
A quiet and gentle spirit exhibits gentleness, patience and humility.

Galatians 1:11-15 Bible Study

Galatians 1:11-16
But I make known to you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man. 12 For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came through the revelation of Jesus Christ. 13 For you have heard of my former conduct in Judaism, how I persecuted the church of God beyond measure and tried to destroy it. 14 And I advanced in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries in my own nation, being more exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers. 15 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb and called me through His grace,

Going Forward by Going Back
Jeremiah 6:16

We live in a progressive society.  Advances are made in technology every day which enhance our lives and make us more productive with less physical effort.  Many people strive to keep themselves abreast of the newest things coming out.  The newest fashions, the latest cars, the best and the biggest and the most modern stuff is in high demand.  We are a progressive people who strive to push ever forward and we live in a world that is ever changing from day to day. 

Sadly, the progress we are making in the realm of religious matters does not seem to be keeping up with society as a whole.  Our advancements in science and technology are resulting in God being pushed out of our lives to be replaced with worldly things.  God is being expelled from our schools, voted out of our government and forgotten by our society.

Galatians 1:8-10  Bible Study


But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed. 9 As we have said before, so now I say again, if anyone preaches any other gospel to you than what you have received, let him be accursed.

10 For do I now persuade men, or God? Or do I seek to please men? For if I still pleased men, I would not be a bondservant of Christ.

Popular Religion

“Popular religion” refers to what is believed by a wide range of people; religion that is well-liked by a large number of people.  For many, this means it must be right.  But is what’s right determined by counting heads?  A Faith Built on Sand by Phil Sanders

Galatians 1:6-7 (Bible Study)

6 Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted. 2 Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ. 3 For if anyone thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself. 4 But let each one examine his own work, and then he will have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. 5 For each one shall bear his own load.

6 Let him who is taught the word share in all good things with him who teaches.

7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. 8 For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. 9 And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. 10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith.

One Baptism   

What is baptism?  Is it a command of God or an ultimatum of man?  Jesus asked this question to certain Jewish rulers.  Matthew 21:23-27

Did not Jesus say in Mark 16:16, “Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.”  Is someone submitting to God when he puts John 3:16 against Mark 16:16.

Who put water in the new birth?  God joined water and salvation – entering the kingdom of heaven.  What does it reveal about one’s heart when they reject Christ’s authority?  John 3:5

Did not the Holy Spirit promise forgiveness of sins to those who repented and were baptized on Pentecost?  Acts 2:38

Does man have the right to put asunder or separate what God has joined together?  What is man doing when he believes and is baptized?  He is acknowledging his sins and his need of God’s grace and blood.

What is a believer doing when he repents and is baptized for the remission of sins?  He is submitting to God’s authority and to God’s right to set the conditions for faith to meet in order to enjoy redemption by grace through blood.
