This week’s text is Ephesians 4:17-19,
This I say therefore, and affirm together with the Lord, that you walk no longer just as the Gentiles also walk, in the futility of their mind,

I greatly appreciate the renewal movements and revivals that have arisen in such places as Toronto and Pensacola....
