THE BOOK OF GALATIANS - PART THREE
FCGM WEST CHRISTIAN RADIO
A WORD FROM THE EDITOR - TWENTY FOURTH EDITION 2 Corinthians 6:1-2; " As I have already mentioned above, time seems to be fleeting so much faster as of late. If you are reading this newsletter and you don't know Jesus as your Lord and Savior, I invite you to write to us and let us send you a Gospel of John free of charge with no obligation. Read about the wondrous love of our Heavenly Father and come to know and understand that He sent His only begotten Son to die for you that you might have eternal life. And I remind those of you who are Christians that it is time to get busy spreading the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. Sadly, too many of our friends and relatives will one day leave this life without having accepted Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior. May it not be because we have failed to introduce them to Him. Until next time... All editions of The W.I.N. E-Mail Newsletter are available on the Internet. To find them, navigate to www.fcgm.org and click on the "Newsletter" link. Feel free to copy as many as you want and pass them out to family and friends. If you would like to be added to our mailing list, send an e-mail containing your name and e-mail address to winsubscribe@fcgm.org. Each day, read a Scripture passage of your choice. Talk with the Lord as you read his Word. When you are finished, go back and select one or two verses which you believe God is using to speak to you and meditate thoughtfully and prayerfully on what he is saying. II. Bible Study In this edition we will look at the second section of Paul's letter to the Galatians - chapters 3-4. This can be divided into three subsections. Read each subsection and answer for yourself the questions associated with them. Type out your answers or jot them down on a piece of paper and place in your Bible for further study and meditation. Read Galatians 3:1-14 1. In what way were the Galatians being foolish? (3:1-5) Read Galatians 3:15-29 1. Who were the promises spoken to Abraham given to? (3:15-16) Read Galatians 4:1-31 1. In redeeming us from the law, what has Christ enabled us to receive? (4:1-7) III. Memory Verse Here are a few suggestions that may help you to memorize your memory verses: 1. Ask the Lord to help you remember his Word (see John 14:26). 2. Use the version of the Bible you are most familiar with. What you normally read in your Bible is what you need to be memorizing. 3. Don't just memorize the contents of the verse; memorize its "address" (the verse reference) as well. You can do this by following this pattern: Step 1: reference; Step 2: verse content; Step 3: reference. Then repeat steps 1-3. Note that you are quoting the reference twice as many times as you quote the actual verse content. This gives the verse a clear "reference tag." 4. After you have read your memory verse out aloud several times, try going through your memory verse without reading your computer screen. 5. Look up your memory verse in your Bible. Look at its immediate context and read the verses that come before and after your memory verse. 6. Print out your memory verse or jot it down on a piece of paper. Take this paper with you when you go to work or do other daily activities. Meditate on the meaning of the verse throughout the day. 7. During your noon appointment with the Lord, take out your memory verse and go over it again. Talk to the Lord about what this verse means to you personally. 8. In the evening (at either your evening study or your evening devotions), see if you can quote your memory verse from memory. Then, without looking at the memory verse itself, see if you can find it in your Bible. 9. The next day, before you begin committing a new verse to memory, rehearse your previous day's memory verse and see if you can remember it (without cheating!). 10. Finally, at the end of the week (possibly on Sunday), collect all your week's memory verses, rehearse them and see if you can recall them without reading them. Spend a little extra time on any verses you have difficulty recalling. 11. Remember: Don't just memorize a verse. Put it into practice (James 1:22). It is not being able to quote a verse from memory that counts. It is His Word abiding in your heart that counts (John 15:7). When you actually apply a verse consistently to your daily life; that is when you truly know that verse! This article is Copyright © 1999, The Online Bible College.

Welcome to the twenty fourth edition of the W.I.N. E-Mail newsletter. It is now the middle of August and by the time the next edition comes out, schools will be back in session for the new year. Wow, where has this summer gone? As the years slip by, the time seems to be fleeting faster and faster. Every day brings us one day closer to leaving this life and going to our eternal destiny. Where are you planning to go when you leave this life? How many friends and family have you invited to go with you?
