And you were dead in the trespasses and sins in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience–among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out
“ In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit.” – Ephesians 2:22 A few things I wanted to communicate in this picture: 1) That Jesus Christ is the head of the Church and that it is in Him that we are being built together as believers. To do
Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, so that he might present the church to himself in splendor, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without
Art and Scripture My hope is that these cards will equip us to spread seeds of the gospel to people with whom we might not be able to have a full conversation (servers, gas station attendants, toll booth operators, etc.). NOTE 1: Unlike all the other resources on this site, I am charging for these
This video is built on the song “something to say” by Starfield ( http://www.starfieldonline.com ). Doubt is a bitter struggle to face as a Christian, but it is one many of us have to face. Satan is a scheming enemy who wants more than anything to crush our faith, to sift us and let

In this rendition of the “armor of God,” I wanted to emphasize that CHRIST is our strength, not the “armor.” It seems that often this passage is used to “pump up” Christians in the fight of life, as if God “suits us up” and then sends us to the battlefield to make Him proud….this

Ephesians 6:16, “In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one.” Verse 16, like the rest of the armor passage, is built around a participle that expounds the manner in which we are to “stand” (v.14). So, “stand…taking up the shield
Ephesians 2:14, “For He Himself is our peace…” Christ as our peace…..He is peace not only between man and man, and man and God, but also—as Colossians 1:20 tells us—between all things in heaven and on earth. In Christ, all things are reconciled, all things are set at peace. In Him all of creation
Ephesians 3:19, “…and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.” This is the culmination of Paul’s prayer to the Father in Ephesians 3:14-19, and—as I’m sure I’ve said in this journal before—it is stunning in its simplicity and depth. Would we
Ephesians 1:19-20, 2:6, “[that you might know] the immeasurable greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His great might that He worked in Christ when He raised (ἐγείρας) Him from the dead and seated (καθίσας) Him at His right hand.” “[God] raised us up with Him (συνήγειρεν) and

Ephesians 2:20-22, “Christ Jesus Himself [is] the cornerstone, in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. In Him you are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit.”
Matthew 16:23,25, “But He turned and said to Peter, ‘Get behind me, Satan! You are a hindrance to me. For you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of man…” I’m always intrigued by the seeming irony of Jesus’ statement here. Peter has just said, essentially, that
Ephesians 5:25, “Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her…” As with Monday’s picture, today’s picture also comes directly from my storyboarding for the next animation, “Everlasting Arms.” In the animation, this scene comes at the moment where the Bride’s eyes are opened—where Ezekiel 36:26 or 2

Ephesians 2:14-16, “For he Himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in His flesh the dividing wall of hostility by abolishing the law of commandments expressed in ordinances, that He might create in Himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace, and might
I can’t possibly do justice to this chapter and the concept of God’s sovereign purpose as Paul unfolds it in this chapter—I can’t possibly do justice to this topic in a morning journal entry. This requires long hours of careful study. However, here is a general, “10,000 ft. Flyover” version of that consideration. Ephesians
