Our study this week is from Ephesians 6:10:
Finally, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of His might.
When the apostle writes “finally” here it means that this is the concluding thought to the entire epistle. For a letter that is so rich and deep in the revelation of the glory and purpose of the church, we can be sure that the conclusion is going to be a powerful one, and we are not disappointed. In the last... -

Our study this week is from Ephesians 6:9:
And, masters, do the same things to them, and give up threatening, knowing that both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no partiality with Him.

Many wonder why the Scriptures do... -

This week we continue our study with Ephesians 6:4:
And, fathers, do not provoke your children to anger; but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.
It is noteworthy that this exhortation is to fathers instead of mothers. It is not always the case, but usually fathers are the strict disciplinarians. Mothers tend to be more nurturing and prone to mercy. Fathers can be more prone to anger, which can cause them to carry discipline too far. Discipline not carried far enough as...
