Ephesians | Spirit control in community

Last updated on: February 10, 2023 at 3:17 pm By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

It’s about control. Paul is warning us not to yield control to anything else. This whole article explores a long sentence in the Greek, written by Paul (Ephesians 5.18-21). It all actually goes together in the original language. So let’s consider these thoughts the way Paul writes it. 1st: Paul says what being Spirit led is not. 2nd: Paul describes what being Spirit filled is. 3rd: He shares the how’s and why’s of a Spirit directed community Paul says what...

What does the Bible say about the Mustard seed and faith?

Last updated on: February 9, 2023 at 6:03 pm By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

What does the Bible say about the Mustard seed and faith? The Bible does not say a lot about the mustard seed and faith. It’s the smallest of all seeds at the time and place. It grows to be the largest tree/bush in the garden. The injunction is, do you see what little faith you have? Now do you see what your faith, even the smallest bit of faith, can grow into? For readings about the mustard seed and faith, see... Read more

classic voices on the love of money

Last updated on: February 9, 2023 at 3:10 pm By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

classic voices on the love of money Hebrews xiii.5-6, Fresh Start Bible NLT Don’t love money; be satisfied with what you have. For God has said, “I will never fail you. I will never abandon you.” So we can say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper, So I will have no fear. What can mere people do to me?” There are some voices from not so long ago capable of providing an amazing interpretation of Scripture. After all, the... Read more

Ephesians | marital glory, sanctity & mystery

Last updated on: February 10, 2023 at 12:15 pm By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

Ephesians | marital glory, sanctity & mystery Ephesians 5.26-32 Aspects of marital sanctification can possibly occur, both physically and spiritually, as a continuation of the couple’s ongoing commitment to Christ. “so as to present the church to himself in splendor, without a spot or wrinkle or anything of the kind, so that she may be holy and without blemish.” (verse 27) This can be either part of a thorough washing or cleansing process, and/or in distinct moments along the way....

Ephesians | church & the marital relationship

Last updated on: February 1, 2023 at 5:45 pm By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

Ephesians | church & the marital relationship Ephesians 5.18, 21-33 “Do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery, but be filled with the Spirit.” (Ephesians 5.18; NRSV) The statement is a directive (command). Paul writes in the second person plural. So Paul is speaking to everyone in all of his reading communities. Some scholars include verse 21 with this paragraph: “being subject to one another out of reverence for Christ.” in fact, verses 18-21 are one continual sentence,... Read more

guest post, Brandon Atwell | how you do religion

Last updated on: February 1, 2023 at 3:31 pm By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

guest post, Brandon Atwell | how you do religion Brandon Atwell is a minister on pastoral staff at a vibrant growing church. His Pastor is actually a Bishop over Bishops. Brandon is an avid student of the Word, but he is also very practical, as you’ll see in this piece. However, his praxis in this work is nearly the level of an apologetic, which is a branch of Theology. He deals with a question that really should be given proper perspective in... Read more

who is this Man? pt 1 of 2 Mark 4.35-37 On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, “Let us go across to the other side.” And leaving the crowd behind, they took him with them in the boat, just as he was. Other boats were with him. A great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that the boat was already being swamped. (NASB) You may already know, there have been countless shipwrecks...

What Bible Scriptures are most often interpreted wrong?

Last updated on: January 13, 2023 at 12:24 am By Rev. Jared V. Ingle

We have to consider the methodology of any translation before we address the question. What Bible Scriptures are most often interpreted wrong? Like most good questions about interpretation, this one is easier to ask than it is to answer. First, we must remember we are dealing with various types of translations, which are really transliterations. There are transliterations that strive to be word-for-word, although this is really impossible given the differences in the sentence structure in the original languages. There... Read more
