We wrap up this quarter with Ephesians 6:10-18 – 10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his power. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, so that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For our struggle is not against enemies of blood and flesh, but [...]

Let’s start with Isaiah before moving on to today’s lesson scripture from Psalm 119.  The scripture from Isaiah that I want to bring into the discussion is from chapter 49, in the first three verses of which, Israel is likened to a sword: 1 Listen to me, O coastlands, pay attention, you peoples from far away!

“He put on righteousness like a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation on his head; he put on garments of vengeance for clothing, and wrapped himself in fury as in a mantle.” (Isaiah 59:17).  No, that’s not the lesson scripture for today, which also comes from Isaiah, but from chapter 12.  I wonder why?  Is [...]

 We continue our inventory of the armor of God – the subject of this coming Sunday’s lesson, by taking up the “shield of faith” (Ephesians 6:16).  Elsewhere, faith and love are described as the “breastplate” (1 Thessalonians 5:8).  In the apocryphal book, The Wisdom of Solomon, righteousness is compared to a breastplate, while “holiness” is the “invincible shield”.

Yesterday we dealt with the breastplate of righteousness in the context of Ephesians, chapter 6.  Before we leave that subject and move on to today’s lesson scripture from the 52nd chapter of Isaiah, lets take one more look at righteousness, this time from Isaiah 51: 1  “Listen to me, you who pursue righteousness, you who [...]

[...]

Each day’s selection for our Daily Bible Study this week is designed to pick out and emphasize one piece of the “whole armor of God” referenced in Ephesians 6:10-18.  Today’s lesson scripture is from the 25th Psalm, verses 1-5: 1 To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul. 2 O my God, in you I [...]

We had pretty good attendance for a holiday – maybe it was the rain.  The lesson scripture for this week was drawn from the 5th and 6th chapters of Ephesians.  Here it is: 21 Be subject to one another out of reverence for Christ. 22 Wives, be subject to your husbands as you are to the Lord. [...]

Today’s lesson scripture is from 1st Timothy, Chapter 5.  After a brief admonishment about how we are to speak to one another, the chapter focuses on widows: 1 Do not speak harshly to an older man, but speak to him as to a father, to younger men as brothers, 2 to older women as mothers, to [...]
