The Week July 12-18, 2015
Ethics, the last days, educational testing, and, oh yes, neuroscience.
Bride of Christ (Christ’s Vision for the Church, Part 7)
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish.Ephesians 5.25-27
A call for holiness
The Church and all its members are the Bride of Jesus Christ. We enjoy a mysterious, intimate, passionate, joyous, and wholly pleasurable relationship with the One Who has bound us to Himself in love. We see Him enthroned in splendor; we meet with Him in His glory; we know the reviving power of His presence and grace; and we serve with Him according to His purposes in the world.
Beyond Man’s Reach
Ecclesiastes 8.16, 17
16When I applied my heart to know wisdom and to see the business that is done on earth, even though one sees no sleep day or night, 17then I saw all the work of God, that man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun. For though a man labors to discover it, yet he will not find it; though a wise manattempts to know it, he will not be able to find it.
Disciplines that Test the Soul
