    Being Good Subjects

    This week we continue our study with one of the more enigmatic verses in this great epistle, Ephesians 5:21:


    and be subject to one another in the fear of Christ.


    The teachings of the Lord in such Scriptures as John 5:44, and Paul in Ephesians 1:10, make it clear that one of the most corruptive and destructive forces in the life of those who seek to serve the Lord is the fear of man. However, this week’s verse commands us to

    Dwelling in His Presence

    This week we continue our study with Ephesians 5:20:


    always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father


    The first three words of this verse are crucial for a victorious Christian life– Why is this? Why should we thank God for problems or for the attacks of the devil? There are several good reasons for this, the first of which is in Psalm 100:4 that we, “always giving thanks.”“Enter His gates

    Music and the Spiritual Mind

    This week we continue our study with Ephesians 5:19:


    speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord;


    Music has been called the only universal language. This is because it can go beyond the mind to touch the heart, the emotions, and therefore communicate in something other than language. Music is one of the most powerful medias on earth, and the devil has taken great advantage of it. However, music belongs to the Lord, not

    Filled with the Spirit

    This week we continue our study with Ephesians 5:18:


    And do not get drunk with wine, for that is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit


    If Paul were writing this today he would almost certainly add to the admonition “not to be drunk with wine” or “stoned on drugs.” Neither of these are acceptable behavior for a son or daughter of the King. They are not only counterfeits to being filled with the Spirit, but are wide open doors for evil spirits to gain entry to

    Walk Carefully

    Our text for this week is Ephesians 5:15-17:


    Therefore be careful how you walk, not as unwise men, but as wise, making the most of your time, because the days are evil.  So then do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.


    As someone once said, “Whenever you see a “therefore” in Scripture, go back and see what it’s there for. The above verses are a continuation of last week’s verses that addressed how everything will be made visible by the light,
