In these verses Paul addresses parents/fathers and children, as well as masters and slaves. He is finishing up his discussion on relationships in the Body of Christ, begun in Chapter 5 where he discussed husbands and wives. Here is the video link: Fathers and Children; Masters and Slaves As per usual, the audio links to […]

Submission might not mean EXACTLY what you think it does. What does Paul mean when he tells wives to submit to their husbands? Are they to be meek, submissive simpering doormats for whatever their husbands want? Nope. Give this podcast a listen. Here is the video link: Mutual Submission Audio links to Spotify and iTunes […]

What does it mean to “Live as Light?” I have a thought or three to share on this topic. Light dispels darkness… it exposes those things hidden in the darkness. It provides comfort for some, and discomfort for others.   As usual, the video link is below, and the audio links can be found to […]

This is a tough subject to talk on – immorality in our thoughts, words, and deeds… The implications are enormous.

  Paul gives a brief instruction on how he expects a true believer to act, and then bounces to what unity in the body of Christ looks like. Just what exactly does “Keeping unity through the bond of peace” look like?     The video link is here: Unity of the Church The Spotify and […]

This passage gave me a lot to think about. Do I REALLY understand God’s love for me? Do I REALLY understand who I was without Him and who I am IN Him? There is a powerful message to me in these verses. I would love to know that you were blessed by these verses as […]

This is a VERY important passage. Here Paul emphasizes this incredibly NEW thing that is happening  – the creation a NEW people, a NEW thing called the Body of Christ wherein Gentiles and Jews are on equal footing. This is not an outgrowth of Judaism… this is new. The endgame of God’s choosing of Israel […]
