Not a Puzzle to Be Solved, but a Doctrine to Be Lived — Dan Waugh (22 Mar 2015)
1 Thessalonians 5:1-11. Paul’s letters to the Thessalonians are probably the first letters he ever wrote.

In the Epistle to the Galatians Paul addresses the problem of legalism with very severe language, but he also reminds the believers that they are supposed to live in the Spirit.
