Daily: July 1-5 Summa Cum Laude Saints (CD #H52)

"For the perfecting of the saints." "Unto a perfect man." Schoolmaster Paul writes a hard thing on the blackboard of the Christian's university of life. Does God require a 4.0 of all His students? And what does that mean for those of us who have already flunked a few quizzes and skipped a term paper here and there? Our study of Ephesians continues.

Daily: July 15-19 Do God's People Watch HBO and Showtime? (CD #H56)

Will the child of God subscribe to Home Box Office--or watch pay-per-view in a hotel room? According to Ephesians 5, only if the programs shun "sexual immorality, impurity, greed, obscenity, foolish talk, and coarse joking." How practical is the counsel the Bible gave 2000 years ago, before cable TV, satellite dishes, and Internet streaming video?
