  • Galatians 6:1-18
  • Galatians 6:10 – Note that the context here does not include benevolence. The context concerns helping those who are caught in a trespass. We are to help all that we encounter that are struggling with sin, but especially fellow Christians.
  • Galatians 6:11 – Some try to argue that Paul had large handwriting, indicating poor eyesight, but there is not much support for this. The Greek word translated “letter(s)” here means document, letter, or written law, which seems to indicate that Paul was referring to his volume of writing.

  • Psalm 11
  • Psalm 11:3 – What foundations are David speaking of?
  • Foundations under attack:
    • Marriage relationship
      • Genesis 2 – God institutes marriage: one man and one woman for life.
      • Romans 7:2-3
      • By Genesis 4, Lamech had already gone beyond God’s marriage law by marrying multiple women.
      • Now feminism and the push for homosexual marriage are attacking God’s marriage law.
    • Civil government
      • Romans 13:1-5
      • Genesis 9:6 – God has always demanded life for life. It was in effect during the patriarchal era, the law of Moses, and now under the gospel.
      • There is a push in effect to change the government away from what God would have it be.
    • The church
      • Ephesians 2:14-18; Matthew 6:18
      • Matthew 20:28, 32
      • When men put churches into the business of doing things other than what God assigned them to do, God’s church is under attack.
    • What then can we do?
      • Keep trusting God (Psalms 11:1)
      • Keep being righteous (Psalms 11:7)
      • Keep teaching others
    • If heaven is worth anything, it’s worth everything!

  • Luke 22:14-23 – Jesus institutes the Lord’s Supper.
