Pastor Tom's Journal

Ephesians 4:17-24 New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition Now this I affirm and insist on in the Lord: you must no longer walk as the gentiles walk, in the futility of their minds;  they are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of their ignorance and hardness of heart.  They have lost all sensitivity and have abandoned themselves to licentiousness, greedy to practice every kind of impurity.  That is not the way you learned Christ!  For surely you have heard about him and were taught in him, as truth is in Jesus,  to put away your former way of life, your old self, corrupt and deluded by its lusts,  and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds,  and to clothe yourselves with the new self, created according to the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness.
