How to Walk by the Spirit (Galatians 5:16) | Life in the Spirit, pt. 3

Galatians 5:16 says, "But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh." This is the basic behavioral command for Christians. We can obey all other commands only insofar as we are obeying this command, because the Spirit's presence and power is what enables the transformation necessary to become the kind of person who can obey the other commands. 

So how do we walk by the Spirit? 

Tune in to this episode of the Bible in Life podcast for some reflections on how to walk by the Spirit.

Why the Book of Revelation Matters

Let's be honest... The book of Revelation is weird. It's hard. There are things that make you go "huh?" And many Christians (perhaps most) just avoid it because of that. 

But Revelation is incredibly powerful! 

And though we may struggle to figure all of it out, the overall message and purpose is quite clear. In this episode of the Bible in Life podcast we explore who Revelation is for and what it is seeking to accomplish. In short, we answer the question, Why does Revelation matter?
