“There is one body and one Spirit— just as you were called to one hope when you were called— one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.” (Ephesians 4:4–6, NIV84) “…Just as you were called to one hope…”. There is only one […]
05/28/22 Daily Devotion – We live in a world that can provide no hope!
“remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world.” (Ephesians 2:12, NIV84) I read this verse and could not help lament over our society today.

04/13/22 Daily Devotion – Being “one body” isn’t just a suggestion!
“Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to his neighbor, for we are all members of one body.” (Ephesians 4:25, NIV84) The Church (body of Christ) is under attack today.
