n this short section of Paul's letter to the Galatians, Galatians 2:11–21, he recounts to his audience the things he said when he confronted Peter about his hypocrisy regarding the law and non-Jews. Paul lays out the basics—we are justified by faith in Jesus and not by obeying a set of rules.

Galatians 1–2: Paul’s Testimony and Commission
I continue with Galatians 1:11–2:10 summarizing the message, adding same parallel passages for explanation, then asking some application questions. It’s my way of making sense of Paul’s writing and digging for his meaning and how I can apply it personally.
Galatians 1: Only One Gospel and Pleasing God
As I study Galatians with the women in my church, I'm doing something a little different than I usually do here on Pondered Treasures. I'm summarizing the passages, adding same parallel passages for explanation, then asking some application questions. It's my way of making sense of Paul's writing and digging for his meaning and and how I can apply it personally. It may only appeal to "Bible nerds" like me, but I offer it to you. May it help you in your study. I start with Galatians 1:1–10.
I’m Writing a New Book to Remember and Tell
I have finished the first full draft of my next book. And I want you to tell you about it. "Remember and Tell" is a devotional memoir remembering the deeds of the Lord while we served in Indonesia and telling of his love and goodness to the next generation.
A Liturgy When Everything Happens At Once
Why does everything happen at once? Jesus demonstrates how to navigate times of busyness. I crafted this liturgy using the steps outlined in the new book, "Crafting Liturgies for Life Abroad" by Heather Fallis available on Amazon July 1st, 2025.
Praying God’s Word: Our Offensive Arsenal
I'm reading old journals, newsletters, and correspondence for my next book and I'm reminded again how much the discipline of praying God's word was part of my life when I served as a global worker in Indonesia. I filled pages and pages in my journals with verses written into prayers for myself, my family, and our work.
Our Great High Priest Fulfills the Day of Atonement
You have probably heard the joke that the answer to every question in Sunday School is "Jesus." But this really isn't a joke. The answer to everything IS Jesus. He is especially foreshadowed in the Tabernacle elements and in the annual Day of Atonement.
The Tabernacle Elements Point to Jesus
God told Moses to build a tabernacle so that he might dwell with them. Every element of the structure was designed with that in mind. Each one provides a way for God to be with his people and points to the better way that was to come through Jesus.
