    A fresh look at time

    Paul tells the Ephesians in verse 15 that they need to be wise concerning their ways, and then in verse 16 he tells them that they need to be wise concerning their days. At the beginning of a New Year, I think it would be good for us to consider the importance of time since it is what days are ...read more

    46th in a series from Ephesians. A wake up call to Christians to be light in a dark world.

    [Video clip of “Cat Wake Up Call” - found on YouTube] Unfortunately, too many of us are kind of like the man in that video clip.

    The verse says: do not get drunk with wine. Wine is okay – gladdens the heart, a little recommended by Paul to Timothy for his health. Drunkenness with wine leads to ‘asotia’ or opposite of ‘sozo’ which is excess, dissipation, being profligate, prodigal

    Introduction: Last Sunday we considered ‘signs of faith’ exploring the signs that Jesus said would follow those who believe. We realize that the signs began on the day of Pentecost after the disciples were filled with the Holy Spirit. Today we look at being filled with the HS so that the signs ...read more

    Don’t get angry at people in spiritual darkness for not being able to see what’s obvious to you. Instead, bring them some spiritual light

    Light Walkers -- Plato once said: “We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark: the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light.” Instead of trusting Christ, modern-day thinkers insist on using human wisdom alone for answers to eternal questions.

    47th in a series from Ephesians. Shortcuts in our walk with God rob us of the joy of the journey.

    We seem to always be in such a hurry that as a culture, we have fallen in love with shortcuts. My earliest recollection of taking shortcuts goes back to when we used to walk to school each morning. You know – 5 miles, uphill each way, through the snow – in Tucson! Actually it was more like half a ...read more

    We are called to walk as children of Light. The Apostle Paul offers us help. He offers us a Caution, Reminds us of the change, and then exposes to us the clarity of walking as COL.
