Marriage and the Church; March 20, 2025
Ephesians 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her. In Japanese, this is one of the most familiar passages in the whole Bible for me, because I use it every time I … Continue reading

Time Usage; March 19, 2025

Gentiles; March 18, 2025

Body Life; March 17, 2025

Ministers; March 16, 2025
Ephesians 3:7 I became a servant of this gospel by the gift of God’s grace given me through the working of his power. For once, the NIV and the Japanese agree, and are different from the ESV. The ESV says, “a minister,” … Continue reading

Unity in Christ; March 15, 2025

Purpose; March 14, 2025
Ephesians 2:10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. We had this as our Verse for the Year not long ago, but I still can’t resist writing on … Continue reading

The Body of Christ; March 13, 2025
Ephesians 1:22-23 And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way. Most of this whole passage, from verse 15 on, is … Continue reading
Boasting; March 12, 2025
Galatians 6:14 May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. We’re still on the same theme as yesterday, with a little more explanation … Continue reading

Alive in Christ; March 11, 2025
Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. This … Continue reading
