Ephmylife-Equip Peace Hospitality

so what now is our duty, what now our measure of life and of living... if we be for Christ and of His name... then how now Paul should we be... Ephesians Chapter 4 offers us some insight on these themes

Therefore- the dreaded indictment of life and living (See Romans 12)-

with

humility

gentleness

patience

love

eager unity

bond of peace

that is a hearty list of "soft action" nary to say this type of bulletin would put us all on the side of servant and less on the tirade of typical leadership.. none of these characteristics are pragmatic, ambitious, or zealous... the corporate character of the church seems to be in need of some "sweetness"

Paul readdresses unity in his "one-sy" statements

One in body, Spirit and Soul

called to to the one hope in a One Lord possessing a One Faith and baptism... one grace given to us all in Christ

EQUIP the Saints for the work of ministry for building up the body of Christ until!

we attain unity and knowledge... to find fullness in Christ

because we want all men to know PEACE and not be carried and tossed in waves of teachers, voices, competitors, things, materials, stuff, influencers

HOSPITALITY- the returning journey for those of us who believed we have found peace is to offer ourselves, the Body Hospitable to those around us... the new, the now, the needy... those are the ones we are now called too to deliver the fullness of Christ incarnate in us...
