"I AM ONE OF THOSE!"

Galatians 3:1 (KJV) "O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?" It seems rather "mean" of Paul to be labeling first century residents of Galatia as "foolish"! "Who hath bewitched you?" Is another question that would anger most. But, what we he write if he were penning a letter to modern day America? History is rather clear, regardless of some skewed accounts, that America was founded in a search for FREEDOM! Yet, today we have given up so many liberties fleeing FEAR that we now find ourselves right back in a similar position. The Holy Bible documents how mankind, since Creation, has CONTINUOUSLY strayed from GOD, then returned, only to stray again. The joy and peace from knowing GOD and having a relationship with HIM, can not exist alongside FEAR of evil! Either we have FAITH in GOD and HIS ability to protect and keep us, or we FEAR the devil and his forces. Scripture is replete with "signs" of the end times. Many of those signs are manifested in present day activities. The 24th chapter of Matthew is a great chapter of Christ revealing when he shall return. Verse 36 says "But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only." JESUS says that "many" will not believe. I will NOT be known as a "foolish" American! The great deceiver will not "bewitch" me. I am one of those!
