Happy New Year!

It's a new year! Last year I read through the entire Bible. This year I want to try something different. Going to slow down and read for quality and not blast through entire chapters.

I'm starting with Galatians, and today it's verses 1-10 of chapter one. In it Paul is talking about the people running to "another gospel", most likely one of works instead of the gospel of Jesus Christ. He condemns this alternative gospel, and states that's he's trying to please God, not people.

The same problems occur today. We've heard of the "prosperity gospel" where people will claim that Jesus wants you to be rich, you just have to claim certain verses. Or that you have to "work" for your salvation. Bullocks!
