God at Work! 


Here is a little project for us this week.  As you read through Ephesians, take note of all the works God did, is doing or will do, as revealed in Ephesians. I was shocked at just how much He is doing.  One little hint; remember Ephesians 2:10 as you read chapters 4-6.  What are the “good works” of God that He has done, is doing or will do through us? 

Take special note also of two key components of His work: 1. It is according to HIS will, and 2. It is done by His power, strength and might!

I was blown away by just how much God is doing in me and in His other children. It definitely brought praise and thanksgiving to my heart.  It also motivated me to;  Do the works of God because God is working in me with the strength of His might!

I’ll try to give a summary of all God did, is doing and will do at the end of the week.  Maybe you can list some works of God you see revealed in your life this week below in the comments section?

  Romans 3:1-18 Answers Questions to Go Deeper “Then” is translated “therefore” by some translations.  “Therefore” best points to the Greek text.  What would Paul be referencing with with “therefore”? His previous discourse on the Jewish person’s state of condemnation despite their identity as Jews. Based on Paul’s answer in verse 2 He knows the answer to the two questions before he asks them.  Why would he use these two questions? Who would he be speaking for in the two questions? Paul is giving the hypothetical Jewish critics questions.  If there was absolutely no advantage or benefit Jews over Gentiles, then what would be the answer to the answer to the two questions?  However, what is the answer (2)? He would have to say there is no advantage or benefit.  But he says the opposite…Great in every respect. What does the phrase “first of all” imply about the advantages or benefits?  How many advantages are listed (2)?  Where is the list completed (hint Romans

Embracing the Coronavirus For we have been consumed by Your anger And by Your wrath we have been dismayed. You have placed our iniquities before You, Our secret sins in the light of Your presence. For all our days have declined in Your fury; We have finished our years like a sigh. As for the days of our life, they contain seventy years, Or if due to strength, eighty years,Yet their pride is but labor and sorrow; For soon it is gone and we fly away. Who understands the power of Your anger And Your fury, according to the fear that is due You? So teach us to number our days, That we may present to You a heart of wisdom.

Today, I sent my son Away! Today, I sent my firstborn to an internship on the mission field. Raising children is definitely the hardest tasks to do in this world. There are so many challenges. First, and foremost parents are sinners. We were born sinful.  Even if we repent and believe in Jesus, we still have these fleshly inclinations. Believers, thankfully, have the Spirit abiding in us to convict and encourage us to look to Christ. Yet this life involves a continuous dying to self.   So bringing children into this world and raising them for the glory of God is the aim.  But at times there is a desperation that comes over you that says, “I can’t change my child’s heart and I can’t make them love Jesus!”  Therefore the believing parent is always crying out to their Abba Father, “Help Father, I can’t father like You!”   I will never forget the joy and desperation that came over me when my wife told me she was pregnant with our son.  See, we had been here before but t
