These Aren't The Things

•

After taking a week off from Galatians to take time and reflect on how the world seems to be going to hell in a handbasket, we’re back! Galatians 4! This chapter is Jay’s least favorite part of this study–but he’s going to do his best to make it make sense for us. Paul expresses some concern in this chapter. Concern that maybe all of his efforts are wasted because everyone is going back to their old ways. The people are split, and split to the extent that they throw everything out…including Jesus. Phew, good thing that sort of stuff isn’t happening these days, right? Paul asks where the goodwill people once felt towards him has gone. He notices that he has become an enemy because of the truth he is sharing. And here we are, like 2000 years later, still having the same issues it seems. So, like Paul, Jay encourages us to look into ourselves and try to find our idols. What have we become slaves to? What dictates our lives? What do we exclude people over? What happened to love? What happened to grace? Why aren’t we compassionate or patient with each other? Hopefully Galatians can keep helping us find our way a bit.


This talk was given on February 05, 2023 in Seattle, Washington.

    In this conversation, the Jay explores the themes of sacred and secular as articulated by Paul Tillich, emphasizing the interconnectedness of these realms. The discussion touches on current events, community support, and the role of politics in faith, while advocating for a more inclusive understanding of spirituality that transcends rigid separations.
