In the last episode, we delved into Ephesians 5:22 - 24 where Paul directed Christian Wives to submit to their own husbands. In this episode, it's the Christian husband's turn. Paul spent 3 verses giving Christian Wives an imperative, yet he spends 11 verses giving Christian husbands an imperative. We know Christian husbands are to lead their family, but what exactly does that mean and what does that look like? This passage has been misunderstood, misused, and abused. But when you interpret this passage in light of the original audience, the rest of the letter to the Ephesians and the rest of Scripture, there is no excuse to get this wrong. Join us as we dive in!

In Protecting Our Own, we delve into one of the most famous (or infamous, depending on how you view it) passages in all of Scripture - Ephesians 5:22 - 33. Paul's directive to Christian wives to submit to their husbands, and to Christian husbands to love their wives as Christ loves the church. It’s both famous and sadly, infamous, because of the misunderstanding surrounding it. For some, it’s a mandatory reading at their wedding, for others, it’s a “you better not dare read it or quote it to me” passage. And there are a lot of articles, blogs, opinions, and commentary on this Eph. 5 passage. And it can get really confusing reading them all. So we are going to try and sort it out by showing why some have an issue with it, the wrong ways it’s been interpreted, and then looking at it correctly in context – within the context of the original audience, within the context of the whole chapter and the whole letter to the Ephesians, and within the context of other Scripture. And we will pull in some commentary from some very credible and sound Biblical theologians. There is so much to delve into in these verses, we need two episodes to do it! In this first part, we will look at the imperative for Christian wives to submit to their husbands. Join us!

People often say that cursing is not a sin so long as you don't use God's name in vain. They are just words, and wouldn't even be considered curses at different times in history and in different cultures. Some rationalize that even if you say "darn," God knows what you are really thinking, so be true to yourself and don't lie to God and say what you're thinking. But what does the Bible say about it? And how about drinking?  Is it okay for Christians to drink so long as they don't get drunk? 

Paul answers these and other questions in the beginning part of Eph. chapter 5 including questions about foolish talk, sexual immorality, idolatry, false teaching, functioning in this dark world, disobedience, and being an effective Christian witness. Join us as we delve into God's Word!

Education is great when it’s coupled with knowledge of the Gospel – the truth that we are all sinners in need of being saved from the wrath of our perfectly holy Creator. But when education is coupled with hardness of heart instead of that knowledge, you’ve got nothing. All the education in the world is useless in keeping you from burning in hell. Without salvation, we are just educated fools.

In the latter part of chapter 4 of Ephesians, Paul is trying to keep us from being "educated fools." He is showing us and telling us what we need to know and how we should live in light of being children of God. Paul teaches us truths about maintaining the unity we already have because we believers, about teaching and correcting each other’s doctrine and theology, and  speaking the truth to each other lovingly, so that we all grow into mature Christians – something that should be the goal of every Christian.

We have reached chapter 4 of the Book of Ephesians which begins the second part of it - the imperatives – what we’re told to do in light of the fact that we’re God’s children and all He has done for us.  This indicative/imperative thing flips on its head what most people think about the Bible – and even Christianity. And it’s what makes Christianity a totally different religion than any of the false religions out there. Most (if not all) religions are about doing. 

Given the quickly changing world we live in, we could very soon find ourselves in a foxhole with our brothers and sisters in Christ. We may even find ourselves face to face with evil. In light of who we are in Christ, how does God command us to react and behave? Join us as we find out together!

In this episode, we finish out Ephesians chapter 3 and the the indicatives of part 1 of the book. In Eph. 3:14 - 21, Paul models not only praying bigger, but models how to specifically pray for Spiritual strength. The 3 main issues we  delve into from this passage in this episode are: 1)What does it mean to pray for spiritual strength? 2) What is the spiritual strength we are given? 3) Why is it even necessary that we have spiritual strength? 

But before we get to that, we define what "God's manifold wisdom" is. A confusing, sometimes misunderstood concept.

Lots to learn together!! Join us!

A good mystery is not one you have figured out 15 minutes into the movie, t.v. show, or book. A good mystery is not too simplistic. It's answer is multi-layered and unfolds as the story goes on. It makes our brain do some work – it is  deeper and more complex than it first appears. Maybe we even need to get some back story to fully understand.  If you like these kind of mysteries, Paul has a great one for us in Ephes. 3:1 - 13. The Jewish Christians and Gentile Christians were fighting over the Gentile Christians not getting circumcised before being accepted into the church. Paul saw that there was a lot more going on than what it appears. He understands there is a heart issue that needs to be resolved. And he resolves it by revealing the mystery that was not known to past generations, but has been made known  to Paul and the other Apostles. What was the heart issue and what does it have to do with us? Join us and find out!

We are born with a fatal spiritual problem. And that problem  doesn’t just leave us sick and in need of a little medical care. Nor are we given a little island of grace in us that’s good and can help draw us to God. Neither of these beliefs are backed up by Scripture. What Scripture does say is that, "God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved— and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. " How can we have already been raised up with Christ and are seated with him in the heavenly places when we are still here on earth?? Join us as we delve into this and the rest of Ephesians chapter 2.

We have reached part 3 of The Truth Will Set You Free and in it we delve into the first part of Ephesians, chapter 2 where we take on a very controversial topic - The Doctrine of Election. Want to get some Christians worked up into a furious frenzy? Mention Predestination. And if you are one of those Christians, please, before you delete our podcast from your Ap, listen to this episode and the Biblical evidence from Genesis to Revelation that it is God who both initiates and upholds our salvation. You may be surprised to hear that the Doctrine of Election does not contradict Free Will. They are not in competition with each other, nor are they enemies of each other.  Join us!

Our gratitude and prayers reveal what we think about God, how much we trust God, and if we really believe we need God. In Ephesians 1:15 - 23, Paul exhorts us to think bigger- to go beyond just being grateful for and thanking God for the usual things - material needs, physical healing, safety, etc. for ourselves and others, and to "thank bigger" and "pray bigger."  What exactly does this mean and how do we do it? What effect can it have on our transformation and how will it set us free? Join us and find out!
