Dear Grace Baptist, September 13, 2026 To make the most of the Lord's Day, I encourage you to read Ephesians 4:17-5:21 enough times to grasp the pastoral flow of thought. Read Ephesians 5:15-21 several times slowly and carefully. Read and pray through the outline. Look up the verses I've listed using various forms of the word "to prove" or "proven." Think about them in relation to Ephesians 5:8-21. For our opening illustration, I'll be summarizing a scene from the Delectable Mountains in "The Pilgrim's Progress." One of the four shepherd's is named Experience, and we will use Bunyan's own character description of the shepherd "Experience" who truly is "A pastor after God's own heart" (Ezekiel 3:15). I encourage you to read this section of "The Pilgrim's Progress." Its book 1, part 2, stage eight. In the Banner of Truth edition, its on pages 135-140. I'm well pleased with the graphic ChatGPT generated using my introduction. Study it; it will also help. Seeking to walk carefully together with you to build Christ's church, Murray The Life that Characterizes the Experimental (Experiential) Christian in Building Christ's Church
