Today’s reading is Galatians 1
“I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— not that there is another one, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed. For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.”
Galatians 1:6-10 ESV

All,
This stands out because Paul says, “For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God?” Is it possible to get the approval of man? People’s opinion of me matters a great deal and can tempt me want approval from them over God’s. Also, people can be moody and they are flawed. Trying to please man over God is fruitless. We know God. God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. He reveals Himself to us through the Bible and prayer. Please pray that we and our friends seek God in all we do today. Please pray for Tyson’s group as its building.
