Our text this week is Ephesians 5:13-21. Click on the "comment" button below to see it.
Clearly it is a continuation of the thought expressed in verses 3-12 which tells us to not be influenced by the culture around us, even as we live in it. It takes a lot of wisdom to pull that off! It seems that a key may be being other-directed. And being filled with the Spirit. Not necessarily in that order!
What do you see? What do you think?

Ephesians 5:13-21
But everything exposed by the light becomes visible, for it is light that makes everything visible. This is why it is said:
“Wake up, O sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.”
Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.
Do not get drunk on wine, which leads to debauchery. Instead, be filled with the Spirit. Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the Father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ.
