A Misunderstood Passage
Ephesians 5 is one of the most misused passages in Scripture. Too often it’s reduced to a slogan about wives submitting to husbands. But Paul’s real message is bigger — and more radical. “Submit to one another,” he writes. Every believer is called to humility, to serve, to give up rights for the sake of love. Husbands, wives, parents, children — all. The gospel advances when we choose servanthood over self.
What’s ‘Good’? And How Do We Know It?
What makes something “good”? We say things like “sex is dangerous” and “marijuana is evil” — but we rarely stop to ask, What does God call good?
Worship in the Old Testament
Worship isn’t about what moves us — it’s about who God is. The Psalms make that clear. They give voice to grief, celebration, trust, awe. Lament doesn’t cancel faith. Petition doesn’t crowd out praise. Worship rooted in God’s holiness and steadfast love isn’t forced or flashy. It’s honest, expectant, reverent. That kind of worship still reshapes hearts — ours and the generations watching.
Why Do Our Bibles Keep Changing?
Bible translations don’t change because the message shifts, but because language does — and so does scholarship. New discoveries and evolving usage lead to periodic updates. That’s not a threat to Scripture; it’s part of its careful preservation. Even Crossway’s English Standard Version, once declared “final,” is now being updated again. These changes remind us how God’s Word is both rooted in history and actively stewarded in the present.
