An Audience of One | Rev. Wil Cantrell

One of the major problems for our religion (and one of the major defects in many of our personalities) is the desire to please people rather than God. The Galatians are trying to please and pacify people by making requirements for Christianity (especially circumcision) above and beyond the requirements of Christ. Paul is not trying to please people, but is trying to please God by sharing the truth of the Gospel and pointing out the idolatrous practices of the Galatians. As Christian, we are called to love and care for people, but we must ultimately live our lives for an Audience of One seeking to please only God.

Scripture - Galatians 1:10-12
