I am tackling the task of studying Galatians and presenting what I learn to our church adult bible study on Sunday mornings. I did this after serious contemplation and prayer. After many sleepless nights of God laying this book on my heart to teach, I gave in to God and started studying. I have decided to post my week to week findings here for whoever finds them useful.
Please remember, that I am learning as well, and doing my best to allow God to direct me in this study. I am not using a commentary book or web site. My approach, so far, has been to read Galatians, and pick apart perplexing or interesting parts of Paul's letter and allow the scripture to guide me. When I get stuck, I will use Google to dig into as many different commentary's as I can, only seeking scripture cross reference that I can use, not as much the logic another uses. My fear of using another person's commentary is that I will turn it into an argument rather than just God guiding me.
If you enjoy, stay tuned each week for more information. If you disagree, feel free to post your discussion, in a kind manner (using scripture reference in your disagreement helps a lot). I am not opposed to being wrong, as I find that God uses other believers to help us understand. Please be open minded that perhaps your perception of the scripture is not the only way, and that you could be mistaken or misled as well. None of us are infallible.
In Him,
Terry
