    • Final Exhortation & Commendation

      Version Française This will be the last post in our series on Ephesians. I’d like to thank you, my readers, who have taken the time to read these 28 posts, and I pray they have been a benefit to you. Like many of his letters, the apostle Paul closes this glorious epistle with some practical…

    • The Armoury of God

      Version Française One who has had the pleasure of reading or watching the Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, will recall the scene when the fellowship is in Lothlorien and they are bestowed a number of weapons and helps for their journey. Some received cloaks, daggers, bows, rope and even the Phial…

    • Kids & Servants

      Version Française In our last post, we explored the relationship between a husband and a wife. What are the roles of the husband and wife and what does that look like? The apostle will now move to the rapport between other household members within a family, that of the children and the slave’s relationship to…

    • Husbands, Wives, Christ & the Church

      Version Française For a large number of people, one of the most natural pursuits in life is to find someone to share their lives with. Sometimes this comes in the form of a quest while at other times it just falls in your lap. The end of this pursuit is generally confirmed with an exchange…

    • The Beholden Singer

      Version française In his book, The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment, the great Puritan author, Jeremiah Burroughs, once wrote: “Oh, that we could but convince men and women that murmuring spirit is a greater evil than any affliction, whatever the affliction!” Burroughs’ statement can be summarized in that a complaining man is one who is…

    • A Flashlight In A Dark Corner

      Version Française There are many who maintain that it’s possible to live certain portions of your life in secret. They have fallen under the delusion that they can maintain a secret life and sin without ever being exposed. Of course, these same individuals tend to be wildly shocked when they’re found out and suddenly have…

    • Sex & Thanksgiving

      Version Française Our generation will be remembered in history as the one which was the most consumed with morally dissecting every part of human sexuality. In our broadminded liberal world, nothing says progressive like openly evaluating your sexuality or gender in your safe space or bragging about how many abortions you’ve had. The heralds of…

    • The New Man’s Strut

      Version Française We continue our review of how to walk as a Christian according to the record left for us in Ephesians. Let’s begin by saying something we should have said earlier, walking, unlike just living, is defined as something that requires movement and with the purpose to getting somewhere. It isn’t sitting on the…

    • The Old Guy vs. The New

      Version Française I meet Christians on a regular basis who struggle with breaking away from their former lives. This battle usually stems from being tempted by some addiction or some flawed temperament from their past. Challenges with temptation and even struggles with assurance of their salvation are often expressed. The fight against lusts, ungodly demeanours…

    • Gifts for Unified Growth & Fighting Tricksters

      Version Française While Christians often focus their attention at the rampant sin and division outside their walls (which I agree exists), they sometimes forget about the dangers of the sinful heart of men from within. The remedy for the outer darkness, they say, is a hot gospel that will save the lost from their sins…
