"She Reads Truth" Galatians Reading Plan

Today I started the "She Reads Truth" study of Galations. The reading for today is Galatians 1:1-10

     1 Paul, an apostle, (not of men, neither by man, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;)2 And all the brethren which are with me, unto the churches of Galatia:3 Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,4 Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:5 To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

6 I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:7 Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.


The study questions for the day are:

Is anything bewitching you?

Is there a person, a lie, a thought, a belief that is allowing you to believe anything other than the amazing news that you've been bought with the blood of Jesus for the pleasure and perfect will of God?

Have we begun to live in a way that we aim to please men rather than the one who authored such Good News for us?

Is anything bewitching me?
Possibly. I am not entirely sure of the meaning of this question, however I will assume that I do. Things that bewitch me (draw me away from the Lord): 1. World of Warcraft,
2. FOOD, 3. Relationships with people not following the Lord.  There are most likely more than that, but I will start with those.

Is there a person....?
I sometimes dwell on the big sins of my past and get caught up in the shame of them. I know God has forgiven me through the blood and death of Jesus. I know my sins have been cast into the sea, and that God never thinks of them again. But I still can convince myself that I have to DO something to make Him like me again! This is most certainly a like from the Pit of Hell!

Have we begun....?
I find myself wanting pastor and teachers that I respect to know what I have studied, done for God, or realized about myself or God. Sometimes I do a thing just so I can tell these men about it. I am ashamed of these times. I want to only please my Lord.
