Galatians is like a little bomb. There’s dynamite in it. It’s not a very long book, but it brings a big punch. Paul has to bring a hard truth to the Galatians. Those that thought they believed the gospel were actually losing touch with it. The lesson for us is if we really think we understand everything about the gospel, then that probably proves we’re losing touch with it.
We’re going to look at the introduction to Galatians. It’s tempting to gloss right over these first few verses, but there are important things for us to learn. Paul touches on themes that will reappear later in the book. 1) The importance of doctrine, 2) the importance of authority, and 3) the importance of God’s initiative.

Tim and Kathy Keller wrote The Meaning of Marriage to face the complexities of commitment with the wisdom of God. It's written to help spouses use biblical wisdom to grow through the trials of matrimony, but it also gives people who are single a realistic yet glorious view of what marriage is and can be.
