CHRISTIAN SMALL LETTER HIGHLIGHTS:

WHO HINDERED YOU? Galatians 5:7-10 reveals how easy it could be for one to persuade us away from the truth, if we're not careful. This was happening to the Galatians, as the apostle Paul reveals in these verses: "7 You were running well. Who hindered you from continuing to obey the truth? 8 This sort of persuasion does not come from the One calling you. 9 A little leaven ferments the whole batch of dough. 10 I am confident that you who are in union with the Lord will not come to think otherwise; but the one who is causing you trouble, whoever he may be, will receive the judgement he deserves." We must be careful to uphold the truth of God, again, letting God's word always trump the ideas of man (ROMans 3:4). Be alert to the misleading use of lies and half-truths, and other speech designed to confuse others for selfish purposes, be they for wealth or power, for material or other gain. May any such troublemakers repent of their errors, while God may show them mercy. (ISAiah 55:6-7).

DOING YOUR BEST. Galatians 6:4,7-8 highlight some important concepts for finding genuine peace in life and being protected from spiritual harm and corruption. Verse 4 highlights the value of avoiding an unhealthy competitive spirit, comparing ourselves with others, often causing either excessive pride on the one hand, or self-defeating discouragement on the other. Such a spirit works against true love. How much better to focus on your own work, seeking to continually improve by the week, month and year! Verse 4 puts it this way: "But let each one examine his own actions, and then he will have cause for rejoicing in regard to himself alone, and not in comparison with the other person." By doing this, we can avoid harmful jealousy, with its detrimental effects on relationships. That verse reads this way in AMP: "But let every person carefully scrutinize and examine and test his own conduct and his own work. He can then have the personal satisfaction and joy of doing something commendable [in itself alone] without [resorting to] boastful comparison with his neighbor." Along with this, Romans 12:18 says: "If possible, as far as it depends upon you, be peaceable with all men."
