Manage episode 359271628 series 3401435
As we seemingly get over the travesty that was Covid-19 the world was left in a much different state then before. Church was greatly affected among other routine activities but the linger effects have left damaging results. Members refusing to attend service, leave the church, and form new religions in the name of "healthy living." Pastor Taylor draws our attention to the scripture explains the turmoil that has existed in the church from the beginning of its existence.
Ephesians 5: 22-33
Marriage like Christ and the Church
22 Wives, subject yourselves to your own husbands, as to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church, He Himself being the Savior of the body. 24 But as the church is subject to Christ, so also the wives ought to be to their husbands in everything.
25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her, 26 so that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, 27 that He might present to Himself the church [q]in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy and blameless. 28 So husbands also ought to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself; 29 for no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ also does the church, 30 because we are parts of His body. 31 For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. 32 This mystery is great; but I am speaking with reference to Christ and the church. 33 Nevertheless, as for you individually, each husband is to love his own wife the same as himself, and the wife must see to it that she respects her husband.
Pastor Lawrence Taylor of The Kenilworth Baptist Church
