Nephi and Galatians

Tomorrow morning the missionaries (I lovingly refer to them as 'the sisters'), myself and my neighbor will meet.  I agreed to continue reading 1 Nephi (the first book of the B of Mormon) if they would agree to reading the book of Galatians.  I just picked a short book of the Bible because I wanted to get them in the New Testament and read something in its entirety and not just cherry-picked verses.  Then I smiled to myself when I began to read Galatians last week:

Chapter 1

I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting him who called you in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— not that there is another one, but there are some who trouble you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed.
10 For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.


Be praying for me Friday morning!  I need all the help the Spirit can give :)
