At the heart of the "song of all songs", and in the center of the Gospel of the Kingdom, is the city of Jerusalem. Your destiny is woven in with her destiny—but everything hinges on the day she sings again "as in the days of her youth," the very day when God Himself will rejoice with singing over her. In the meantime, this "song" protects your heart from the accusations shot like flaming arrows against her—and your—eternal security. Best to begin singing it now.
Listen to "& There They Both Will Sing," Episode 6 of THE BETTER SONG, with Jeff & Steph now.

We finish riding Paul's train of thought in this passage and reflect upon the fatigue of doing good works, and bearing good fruit—why it is tiresome, and why we should keep going anyway. Join Jeff and Steph for this week's conversation in Galatians, for one of the final episodes of THE BETTER FREEDOM.
Listen to "The Abject Fatigue of Good Fruit (Gal. 6:6-10)" now here in the FAI App.

As we near the end of Paul's letter to the churches of Galatia, this week's text includes 6:6-10. Jeff and Steph discuss the individual and corporate imperative to live with generosity, and the broader principle of reaping what you sow—and the inability to reap what you haven't sown then demonstrating God's invincibility. "He cannot be mocked." But He also won't leave you hanging if you trust Him, even with something simple like a tank of gas.
Join Jeff and Steph for this week's episode of THE BETTER FREEDOM: "You Cannot Reap What You Do Not Sow (Gal. 6:6-10)." Listen now in the FAI App.

If bearing the fruit of the Spirit looks like bearing the burden of someone "caught" or buckling, and doing so in a spirit of gentleness, the counter-attack of the flesh looks like your pride swelling with the ego of your good deeds. Paul effectively warns us to check ourselves before we wreck ourselves, and "stand alone together."

"Bear one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ." This mighty admonition on the heels of last week's conversation on the "gentle hand of restoration" is not for the faint of heart, but is a beautiful privilege and burden of its own merit for everyone in the Body of Jesus.
Jeff and Steph discuss Galatians 6:2 in this week's episode of THE BETTER FREEDOM, our ongoing season of THE BETTER BEAUTIFUL devoted to the book of Galatians. Listen now in the FAI App.
-
Perhaps the most offensive and beautiful passage in all of Galatians is the subject of this week's episode: what to do with a member of our faith family when they get "caught" in a transgression. "WWJD?" may well lead us all to scratch our heads in wonder, but "blessed is he who is not offended because of [Jesus]," and there is gold to mine in these hills.

The narrow way that leads to life is the path of the Spirit that bears the fruit of the Spirit in our interior lives.
