Is the Great White Throne only a death sentence?

My father recently went to the hospital for brain surgery; fortunately, it was successful, and he will regain, in time, motor skills that the tumor had taken from him. We went to visit him after the surgery while he was … Continue reading →

An extremely ludicrous example. Gal 2:19-21

Posted on 12/26/2017 by remso

Although I might have used other translations as I wrote about Paul’s transition out of legalism into the grace of God we find in Christ; the CJB seems to convey what I perceive Paul is saying, the best. Galatians 2:18-19 … Continue reading →

With the purpose of getting his family back. Galatians 2:15,16

Posted on 12/10/2017 by remso

In Galatians 2:14 we see Paul, recapping his aggressive challenge of Peter’s actions; over an event that may have happened 18 years prior. But when I saw that they were not behaving consistently with the truth of the gospel, I … Continue reading →

Entrusted with the gospel to the Gentiles. Galatians 2:6-10

Posted on 11/26/2017 by remso

We pick up Paul’s oration in Galatians 2:6 having described, in the previous five verses, three years in Damascus with only momentary influences from Peter and James. Paul then tells us that after fourteen years of preaching he is now … Continue reading →

Galatians 2:1-5, Paul’s acceptance?

Posted on 11/23/2017 by remso

The NASB entitles chapter two as Paul’s acceptance by the Apostles. A short side trip. Is there a difference between the Apostles and disciples? Our mind quickly draws a picture of the twelve that Jesus picked out. Of course, there … Continue reading →

The evidence was so substantial that it .. Galatians 1:12-24

Posted on 11/15/2017 by remso

It almost seemed deceptive titling my last post, “It was not of man.” Having become carried away with verse eleven and never really covering the subject; I had to cut it short in hopes of keeping your attention. But, there … Continue reading →

Why would someone feel it is necessary to control us? Galatians 1:6-10

Posted on 10/29/2017 by remso

While I wrote these studies on Galatians about three weeks ago; since then, so much has happened. As you probably gathered from my last post I had a bit of a verbal collision with my pastor. Whatever definitions I might … Continue reading →

Galatians 1:2-5. To settle all claims against him and to designate where he obtained this information on grace on mercy.

Posted on 10/22/2017 by remso

In verse one of this letter to the Galatians, we have Paul introducing himself. In so doing he spells out with one word, that he was sent by, and is a messenger of Jesus Christ and God the Father. That … Continue reading →

A study on Galatians, chapter 1:1. Now the truth, I have to ask myself? Am I doing this for me, or for some vindictive pastor who can see no good in me?

Posted on 10/16/2017 by remso

To a people who may have realized they were entrapped by man’s laws, this message of grace and mercy was a Godsend. If you heard Paul’s words and allowed them to change you, how could you, or would you go back to the bondage that man and his hierarchy bring? Continue reading →

My notes as I prepared to teach on the Discipline of Fasting by Richard Foster.

Posted on 10/10/2017 by remso

I had been asked by my pastor to teach a couple of sessions out of one of the books from which he was yet to pick. When he named off the potential authors, I cringed internally as my pastor can … Continue reading →
