How did you get so confused? You are called to freedom but don’t abuse the privilege. Live by the Spirit. Give up the law and the passions of the flesh. Bear the fruits of the Spirit - love, joy, pe...

Prayer Suggestion | Take a deep breath. We have been at this for a year now. Please remember to take moments for yourself. Pray. Rest. Drink water. Move your body if you can.

Prayer Suggestion | Set us free, O God, from the bondage of sin, and give us the liberty of the abundant life which you have made known to us in our Savior, Jesus Christ; who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen The St. Helena Breviary | Church Publishing Inc. | © 2006 | ISBN 978-0-89869-516-8 Bible in Time | Monday | First Full Week in Lent | New Testament Study, Day 27 | It’s 50 CE/a.d. Today: Background on Galatians Tuesday 2/23/2021 : Galatians 1 February Assignments Calendar +++ Edwards has asked us to pause and read the Letter to the Galatians.

Sinai after 3 months journey; After they are consecrated they hear the laws of God concerning community life (the 10 commandments), worship, property (slaves), kinds of murder, and livestock injuries. The code is to repay for exactly for what is wronged (an eye for an eye, etc.) and call it good. Meditation/Contemplate: What are the rules for living in a community?  What is just and fair?
