1 Therefore, be imitators of God as his dearly loved children. 2 And walk in love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself for us, as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.
3 But do not let sexual immorality, any kind of impurity, or greed even be mentioned among you, as is proper for saints. 4 Obscenity, foolish talk, and coarse joking are also out of place. Instead, give thanks. 5 Certainly you are aware of this: No immoral, impure, or greedy person—such a person is an idolater—has an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ, who is God.[a] 6 Let no one deceive you with empty words. It is because of these things that the wrath of God is coming on the sons of disobedience. 7 So do not share in what they do.
8 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light, 9 for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness, and truth. 10 Try to learn what is pleasing to the Lord, 11 and do not participate in fruitless deeds of darkness. Instead, expose them. 12 For it is shameful even to mention the things that are done by people in secret. 13 But everything exposed by the light becomes visible, for it is light that makes things visible. 14 Therefore it is said, “Awake, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”
15 Consider carefully, then, how you walk, not as unwise people, but as wise people. 16 Make the most of your time,[b] because the days are evil. 17 For this reason, do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. – Ephesians 5:1-17 (EHV)

Thank you for this quote of the day. We must take heed.
I gave care to my Mother as she fought Alzheimer’s and dementia and it was difficult to watch the disease cause her to devolve in meanness, anger and lack of emotional control.
As I look at the actions of Joe Biden, unfortunately I see the same expressions and mannerisms that consumed my otherwise wonderful mother and our family.
Pray that the Lord provides US the strength to handle the future.
This second verse is said as part of our worship service every time, sort of a commissioning and reminder to all gathered.
Our priest said in this weekend’s message: “I can’t tell you what this year will bring, but I can tell you who to listen to: FOLLOW JESUS.”
Yes, thanks for the Scripture! When I read TominAlaska’s mention about ‘meanness, anger and lack of emotional control’, I am afraid I had to flash to instances of that in me. Praying for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, revival in the saints, and another Great Awakening.
