When You Get Tired Of The Whole Thing
LIBERTY .. NOT LEGALISM
Dr. Ernest L. Easley
Galatians 6:7-9
November 26, 2006
Now as you are turning to Galatians chapter 6 .. I just wonder: Do you find it difficult to stick with something? Have you ever started a project and never finished it? I mean .. even to this day it's sitting in your garage or in your closet or in your basement ... started, yet not finished!

It could be morally! You've kept yourself clean morally and you're thinking, "What's the use? What difference does it make? Being a virgin until my honeymoon isn't that big of a deal. I quit!"

Perhaps they had been: teaching the scriptures ... witnessing to their neighbors ... they had been trying to build a Sunday School class and they weren't seeing many results! You put it down: the Devil loves to see the saints of God get discouraged! Like some of you .. they became dis ...
