Little Country Church on the edge of town

Do do do do do do

People coming every day from miles around

For meetings and for Sunday school

And it's very plain to see

It's not the way it used to be.

Welcome to the Word for today, featuring the Bible teaching ministry of Pastor Chuck Smith,

founder of the Calvary Chapel Movement.

This radio program is a chapter-by-chapter by chapter verse by verse study through the entire Bible.

And on today's edition of the Word for today, Pastor Chuck continues his message,

the air of God as we pick up in Galatians chapter 4 verse 1.

And now with today's study, here's Pastor Chuck.

Now I say that an heir, as long as he is a child, doesn't differ anything from a servant,

though he be Lord of all. But he is under the tutors and the governors until the time appointed of the father.

So Paul now gives us an illustration of a, here's a little child, he's born in the Rockefeller family.

One day he's going to be heir to the Rockefeller fortunes.

But as long as he is in kindergarten,

he can't go out and sign checks for a million dollars.

Though one day it'll all be his.

Right now, he's a child.

He's under the tutors.

He's under the trainers, the governors, who are teaching him those things that he needs to know to manage the fortune when once it becomes his.
