"Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil" (Eph. 6:11). The art of standing is a rare discipline in a world that is perpetually in motion. We live in a culture that celebrates advancement, forward momentum, and relentless pursuit. Yet in Ephesians 6:11, Paul calls …

Our study through Ephesians 6:5–9 revealed a theology of work grounded in Christ, that it transforms even the most mundane routines into holy service. It tells us that who we are and how we serve is not ultimately defined by our earthly position, but by our relationship to our true Master in heaven. Whether we …
Ephesians 6:9 – “Masters, do the same to them, and stop your threatening, knowing that he who is both their Master and yours is in heaven, and that there is no partiality with him.” The Word of God levels every playing field. In a world built on hierarchies and power structures, the gospel comes as …
