Erma Hollingsworth died last week. I thought of her in reading this passage. Erma kept up with all the newest ideas in popular Christian theology. I am referring to those books about the faith that become best sellers. But what she would do is read them, then compare the ideas presented in the books to her beliefs that she had held for years. She didn't just accept a new idea because it sounded good, she reflected and compared the new idea.
Paul is upset with the Galatians because they have simply chased new gospels. They have abandoned what they were taught to chase something new. He wants them to do the very thing Erma did. Evaluate, judge and then decide.
