Freedom. Freedom! Freedom!!! FREEDOM!!!!

It is for FREEDOM that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again...

You who are trying to be justified by law...have fallen away from grace. But by faith we eagerly await...righteousness...

The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.

The one who is throwing you into confusion will pay the penalty, whoever he may be.

You...were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature, rather, serve one another in love... Love your neighbor as yourself.

So I say, LIVE BY THE SPIRIT, and you will not gratify the desires of sinful nature... ...if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law.

But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. AGAINST SUCH THINGS THERE IS NO LAW... Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep IN STEP with the Spirit.

Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should RESTORE HIM GENTLY... Each one should test his own actions. Then he can take pride in himself, without comparing himself to somebody else, for each one should carry HIS OWN LOAD.

Do not be deceived. God cannot be mocked. A MAN REAPS WHAT HE SOWS. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction, the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. LET US NOT BECOME WEARY IN DOING FOOD, FOR AT THE PROPER TIME WE WILL REAP A HARVEST IF WE DO NOT GIVE UP.

May I never boast EXCEPT IN THE CROSS of our Lord Jesus Christ... What counts is A NEW CREATION.

Verses taken from Galatians 5 & 6

Freedom in Christ. Live by the Spirit. Love your neighbor as yourself.

Pretty good advice, Paul.

Much love, Tara K

Fall In Love

Happy Near Year and Snow Day, everyone! So many of our new year's resolutions involve our career goals or weight loss... which are really important! It's always so great and essential to keep our health at a priority. And as far as career goals, it's also a great thing to keep following big dreams and aspirations, especially those that will make a potentially stable life for your family.

One resolution I think we often look over as an option could be to read our bibles through (again, if we have before). And not just read it, but fall in so much love with it that we can't get enough of it- when it becomes our source of life and every breath. And what about the resolution option to fall in love with everyone around you? We often find comfort in our groups of favorite people, and those of positive, godly influence should be that group. Do not be mislead: "Bad company corrupts good character." 1 Corinthians 15:33. And this is essential. But we also need to fall in love with EVERYONE around us. Those who need God and don't have Him. How else will they know Him if we are not in love with God? Surely the Holy Spirit will do it's part, but so should we. And not even out of duty. But love.

I pray you find so much love in your heart that you can't contain the beats. Metaphorically, of course. :)

Happy New Year!
