Wake Up! (3 of 3)

Ephesians 5:6-14
A twelve-year-old Taiwanese boy was visiting an art exhibit in 2015 when he accidentally tripped at a museum. Thankfully he was ok because he broke his fall by reaching out to support himself on a 350-year-old painting valued at $1.5 million. Insurance paid for the restoration, and I am sure he received some counsel on being careful! But the boy isn't alone.
In 2006, a 42-year-old man tripped over his shoelace in Cambridge, England, and shattered 3 Chinese vases valued at over $130,000. And there's the time that Steve Wynn accidentally put his elbow through a $155 million Picasso painting. Fortunately, Wynn was a billionaire, and he later bought the painting. Oh my! This makes me think I will never go into an art museum again!
Of all the items that could be damaged, Chinese vases and Picasso paintings are the least of our worries. They are not even close to the most valuable items near us.
Open your Bibles open to Ephesians 5 with me as we continue our study of Ephesians - The Spirit-Filled Life.

Today's Scripture
''Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. 7 Therefore do not become partners with them; 8 for at one time you were darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light 9 (for the fruit of light is found in all that is good and right and true), 10 and try to discern what is pleasing to the Lord. 11 Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them. 12 For it is shameful even to speak of th ...
