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 →

When Peter came to Antioch. Galatians 2:11

Posted on 12/05/2017 by remso

When those of us who did not go Seminary, read the Bible, we tend to glaze over passages like the one we see here in Galatians 2:11. I think we do that because there are aspects of it that make … 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 →

Does king David reign over the Millennium?

Posted on 11/17/2017 by remso

Monday morning’s Men’s study started off with a tirade about king David reigning over the Millennium. In my notes I wrote, “try finding this in scripture; you can’t.” Is my assertion correct? That can only be proved out by scripture, … Continue reading →

It is not according to man. Galatians 1:11

Posted on 11/10/2017 by remso

Months ago, buried deep in the books of Daniel, Matthew, and Revelation, I began to feel the desire to go back to the richness of Paul’s letters. In all honesty, I love God’s word, but when I think about the … 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 →

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 →

A response to a comment, three years late.

Posted on 09/20/2017 by remso

I wrote this in response to a comment. I am including it for your benefit as misconceptions and false teachings run rampant. I rarely talk to anyone who has a firm grasp on what happens after the seven years of … Continue reading →
