Paul, an apostle (not from men, nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised Him from the dead), and all the brothers with me, to the churches of Galatia.

Brothers, if a man is overtaken in a fault, you the spiritual ones restore such a one in the spirit of meekness, considering yourself, lest you also be tempted. Bear one another’s burdens, and so you will fulfill the Law of Christ. For if anyone thinks himself to be something, being nothing, he deceives himself. But let each one prove his own work, and then he alone will have a boast in himself, and not in another. For each one will bear his own - Welcome to Wayne's Bible Study >> January 27

2012 will no doubt be the year of the highest church attendance in America.

Fri, 27 Jan 2012 07:00:00 -0600 We can discern historical references in this psalm. For example, we can read the provision of food in verse 5 to be the manna in the wilderness and the heritage of the nations to be the promised land, the covenant to be the specific covenant with those ancient Hebrews.
But the psalm is more than a history lesson about specific people in a specific place on a specific date. It also extends into our lives, in our time, in our places. We have learned of what God has done. We have received - Sunday's Child >> Daily Prayer, Friday, January 27, 2012

And most of the brothers in the Lord, becoming confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the Word without fear.

“ As the Father knoweth me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep. “
Let me say this concerning my previous study while it is on my mind - when the Bible warns against a pastor who “ scatters “ God’s sheep, this scattering of God’s sheep is not restricted to a church split, dividing a church congregation against itself or causing church attenders to leave a church.

To summarize: notice, be thankful, tell others, continue to notice and be thankful. and not just tell with words.

What I mean by Moderate Christian Theology
By "moderate Christian theology" I mean the doctrinal views of those who are moderate, relaxed, and open in how they deal with the world, but who take the Christian religion and Christian spirituality seriously. They will have an interest in the Bible, but will not be dogmatic and will also be interested in interfaith dialog and will not pressure their neighbors. Their primary form of witness is by their life, but they do not hide the fact that they are Christians. They let their light shine through deeds first, then words, and even through signs.
