      by worshiping the idols at Mizpah and Tabor.

 3 That is why …

Ephesians 4

Unity in the Body

 1 Therefore I, a prisoner for serving the Lord, beg you to lead a life worthy of your calling, for you have been called by God.

Holy Spirit, this seems so impossible.  I am such a sinner. I don’t know what my calling is, and I’m not sure I want to know.  Don’t be too kind Lord.  It is time to kick me into …

Ephesians 2

Made Alive with Christ

 1 Once you were dead because of your disobedience and your many sins. 2 You used to live in sin, just like the rest of the world, obeying the devil—the commander of the powers in the unseen world.
