Ephesians Study Day 23 Today we come upon taking up the armor of God. We need all of it to protect us! Here are the verses that we should all memorize and live by – Ephesians 6:10-18: Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his power. Put on the whole armor of God, so that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For our struggle is not against enemies of blood and flesh, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers of this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore, take up the whole armor of God, so that you may be able to withstand on that evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. Stand therefore, and fasten the belt of truth around your waist, and put on the breastplate of righteousness. As shoes for your feet put on whatever will make you ready to proclaim the gospel of peace. 16 With all of these, take the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench...

Ephesians Study Day 22 Today we continue with Chapter 6 with these words: Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his power. Put on the whole armor of God, so that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. The wiles of the devil. Often, we’re tempted to think that “the devil” or Satan is an old concept, but that’s not true at all.

It’s very much of a reality, and we need the whole armor of God to withstand those things. We’ll talk about the armor of God tomorrow, but for today, let’s talk about the challenge of being a faithful Christian in a world that can, at times, be very evil. Here's the video: And here’s a wonderful video entitled Bless The One, by Mack Brock, which reminds us that nothing can stop us because God has ...

Ephesians Study Day 19 Today we’re still on the beginning verses of Chapter 5 and focusing on Paul’s encouragement for them (and us!) to live as beloved children of God. And in order to do that, not only do we need to try to understand what the will of God is, but we need to live not unwisely, but live wisely as children of light in a dark world. That informs how we live with those who live differently than we do, who may not be Christian, or who may live lifestyles that are counter to what we believe. Rather than shutting ourselves up in a monastery, Paul encourages us to bring light into the darkness around us. Shine your character and honesty into a world that doesn’t value it like we do. Bear the fruit of your character. Live as children of the light! And most of all, remember verse 10: Try to find out what is pleasing to the Lord! Here’s the video: Here’s a wonderful Celtic version of Be Thou My Vision.   Enjoy!
