Good Morning “Crucified.”  Today we are in Galatians 2.Paul, dealing the issue of Justification reminds us in this chapter that we are justified by Grace through Faith in Jesus - plus nothing.  Some were hanging on to their Jewish Customs, feeling good about themselves as a result, and expecting converted Gentiles to live by them as well.We all seem to have this innate desire to feel better than, ...
