Getting The Most From Reading Your Bible by Thomas Watson

I think that getting the most out of studying and reading the Bible is a subject always near to God’s people. This was David’s prayer in Psalm 119:18 when he said, “Open my eyes that I may behold wonderful things from Thy law.” Not content with just surface knowledge, the once shepherd boy knew that God must draw the veil from his eyes so that he could behold the vast treasures of His Word (Psalm 19:7-11)

Wives and Husbands – The Mystery of Christ and the Church (pt 2) Ephesians 5:22-33

by SJ Camp × on August 9, 2015 at 1:20 PM ×

This week Pastor Steve focuses on the roles of both the wife and husband before the Lord and each other as Paul instructs us out of Ephesians 5:22-33. Wives… submissive love; husbands… sacrificial love. May this simple yet profound portion of God’s Word encourage us all to honor the Lord by serving one another as “coheirs of the grace of life” in marriage. And as we love our families may we learn to love more deeply and genuinely the family of God. Amen?.

Especially as Christians, let’s not take our freedom for granted.
