    Heaven on Earth, we need it now. I’m sick of all of this, hanging around.

    It’s interesting to search for “Ephesians 4” on this site and very quickly you discover just how much God has brought me back to this book, and this particular chapter since I started writing. This coming Sunday I will be launching the series by doing an overview of the profound vision that Paul paints in the first three chapters. I was privileged to share a sermon series both in Canada and at my church in Hobart that explored this one chapter.

I have my quiet times using the message so these verses are from that version: No prolonged infancies among us, please. We’ll not tolerate babes in the woods, small children who are an easy mark for impostors. God wants us to grow up, to know the whole truth and tell it in love—like Christ in everything.
