Happy Birthday Mr Franklin. What genius that even after the passage of almost 300 years his writings are as timely and as wise as when he first put pen to paper.

The U. S. Constitution doesn't guarantee happiness, only the pursuit of it. You have to catch up with it yourself

Get The Point!

Read:
Galatians 2:11-21

A man is not justified by the works of the law. —Galatians 2:16

Bible In One Year: Genesis 43-45; Matthew 12:24-50

One thing you have to say about the apostle Paul—he was not a man to mince words. It didn't matter who it was—a judge, a ruler, or his fellow apostle Peter—Paul said what had to be said. In Galatians 2:16, he made the same point three times: No one is justified by the works of the law.

The law was a critical issue in the early church because many of the converts were Jews. Although they believed in Jesus, some of them just would not let go of their legalistic ways. I imagine hearing them say, "A person can't be saved unless he is circumcised and refuses to eat meat offered to idols. And no Jewish believer should ever eat with Gentiles." But Paul told them in no uncertain terms that they were wrong. Being made right with God comes by faith, not by any requirements a church or individual adds.

As the author of confusion, Satan finds all kinds of ways to corrupt the gospel by giving us the impression that faith is not enough. He plays into our desire to be in control and to do something to save ourselves—adding anything from tithing to perfect church attendance to clothing styles to entertainment choices. Each of these is important to the believer, but none is essential to salvation.

The point is: Salvation is by faith. —Dave Egner

Lord, I know that salvation is by faith because
of Your grace. Help me not to require anything else
from myself or others, so that I cannot boast
in my goodness—but only in Yours. Amen.

Justification: Our guilt gone; Christ's goodness given.

Hey, I had tea in that very building with the Governor's wife. Which Governor I have no recollection but I do remember touring through their capital building.

Ladies and Gentlemen . . . we are in the company of royalty!

Let's see . . . the most important politician I ever wined and dined with was when Louisiana Gov. Edwin Edwards had the LSU football team over for dinner after we beat Wake Forest in the '79 Tangerine Bowl.

. . . and today he's in jail for fraud and racketeering. ;^)
