\\ *Introduction:*
Letting go of the dirty thing.
(Barb or Mr. B) Holding on to the form of religion but not able to embrace the real thing.
\\ */Galatians 5:1 through Galatians 5:15 (NIV) \\ /*1It is for freedom that Christ has set us free.
Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.
*A*2Mark my words!
I, Paul, tell you that if you let yourselves be circumcised, Christ will be of no value to you at all.
3Again I declare to every man who lets himself be circumcised that he is obligated to obey the whole law.
4You who are trying to be justified by law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace.
*B*5But by faith we eagerly await through the Spirit the righteousness for which we hope.
6For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision has any value.
The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.
*A*7You were running a good race.
Who cut in on you and kept you from obeying the truth?
8That kind of persuasion does not come from the one who calls you.
9“A little yeast works through the whole batch of dough.”
10I am confident in the Lord that you will take no other view.
The one who is throwing you into confusion will pay the penalty, whoever he may be.
*B*11Brothers, if I am still preaching circumcision, why am I still being persecuted?
In that case the offense of the cross has been abolished.
12As for those agitators, I wish they would go the whole way and emasculate themselves!
*A*13You, my brothers, were called to be free.
But do not use your freedom to indulge the sinful nature£; rather, serve one another in love.
14The entire law is summed up in a single command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”£
*B*15If you keep on biting and devouring each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other.

I.                    The Contrast of  Faith
!! A.      The Dangerous Faith in Religious Form
~*~*~*Eder Sheim in "The Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah"
outlines the most elaborate of Jewish washings.
Water jars
were kept ready to be used before a meal.
The minimum amount of
water to be used was a quarter of a log, which is defined as
enough to fill one and a half eggshells.
The water was first
poured on both hands, held with the fingers pointed upwards, and
must run up the arm as far as the wrist.
It must drop off from
the wrist, for the water was now itself unclean, having touched
the unclean hands, and, if it ran down the fingers again, it
would again render them unclean.
The process was repeated with
the hands held in the opposite direction, with the fingers
pointing down; and then finally each hand was cleansed by being
rubbed with the fist of the other.
A really strict Jew would do
all this, not only before a meal, but also between each of the
courses.
!! B.      The Delightful Faith of Righteous Fellowship
~*~*~*As a musician was tuning his instrument prior to a concert, he
held it for a few seconds before a flaming fireplace.
Asked why
he did this, he replied, "I can't seem to get any music out of
it when it's cold."
In a similar way, God's children cannot
produce the music of hearty service when their lives are
spiritually frigid and unresponsive.

II.
The Conflict of  Friction
!! A.      Hinderances in the race
~*~*~*If you think you have problems in your life you can probably
identify with the Volunteer Fire Department in Dixmont, Maine.
In 1991 Jim Dunivan, the volunteer fire chief, was eating
breakfast when he noticed smoke coming out of his barn.
His wife
got on the phone and called the volunteer firemen while Jim raced
to the barn in his pickup truck trying to rescue the 70 cows and
30 calves from the flames.
With the help of his friends from the
volunteer fire department he rescued all but six of the animals
and saved half of his barn.
Unfortunately for Jim, a field representative of the Maine
Bureau of Labor Standards dropped by the fire around 4 p.m. while
the firemen were just finishing.
The field representative
complained that the firemen were not wearing the protective
clothing, air packs, or other safety gear required by state
regulations so he fined them $1000.
He told Dunivan, "You might
have put the fire out, but you didn't put it out right."
The
state also cited the fire company for not being able to prove
that all of its volunteers were adequately trained.
Failure to
correct this violation carries a $1000 a day fine if the state
chooses to impose it.
!! B.      Hardships in the race
~*~*~*An evangelist told the following story in one of his campaigns.
He said, "I have a friend who during the depression lost a job, a fortune, a wife, and a home, but tenaciously held to his faith - the only thing he had left.
One day he stopped to watch some men building a stone church.
One of them was chiseling a triangular piece of rock.
'What are you going to do with that?' asked my friend.
The workman said, "Do you see that little opening way up there near the spire?
Well, I'm shaping this down here so that it will fit in up there.'
Tears filled the eyes of the heartbroken man as he walked away.
It seemed that God had spoken through the workman to explain the ordeal through which he was passing."
