Freedom or slavery? When offered with this choice, many of us would choose freedom. But the strange thing that happens when presented with the choice in the flesh, most choose slavery. It is easier, it makes sense. The Galatians were turning once again to slavery. Paul urges them to choose freedom.על ידי Tony Maxwell

Greed can cause us to do things that we wouldn’t normally do. Micah steals from his mom. While he gives the money back, he still honors God in a way that was not appropriate. When the Levite came, and was asked to be a priest, he was not qualified. But the promise of money caused him to do something he shouldn’t. When we live by our way, greed can …
