Light

Thursday, April 17th, 2008

Ephesians 5:11 – 14 “Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. But everything exposed by the light becomes visible, for it is light that makes everything visible. This is why it is said: ‘Wake up, [...]

Empty Words

Ephesians 5:6 – 7 “Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God’s wrath comes on those who are disobedient. Therefore do not be partners with them.”

Playing Dress-up

Thursday, April 10th, 2008

Ephesians 5:1 “Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children.”
When I was a little girl, I used to watch my mother put on her make-up. She had this shiny pink lip gloss that marked the finishing touch to her beauty routine. I thought she was the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. Every [...]

The Water Pump

Wednesday, April 9th, 2008

Ephesians 4:32 “Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.”
I love the way Paul doesn’t just leave us hanging. In verse 31, he spoke of a problem, and here, he gives us the solution. Before, he said, “Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling [...]

Spirit Wounds

Tuesday, April 8th, 2008
