But the Joy that we talk about here, described in Galatians 5 as the fruit of the spirit is ‘Spiritual Joy’. It goes beyond happiness.

Luke 5:5b “But because you say so, I will let down the nets.” I have often used a variation of this on my son when he was younger. He has a penchant for tireless explanations to try and get out of things I ask him to do and in doing so he would wear out... Continue Reading →
