Ephesians: The Practical Side
Ephesians is a perfectly balanced epistle, with seven doctrinal treatises and seven practical treatises. The Great Prayer of chapter 3 sets in balance the doctrine and the practice. In this study, the author examines and explains the practical treatises in a manner that will bring edification, exhortation, and comfort to the reader.
Each word in the last three chapters of Ephesians is examined and translated in light of the doctrinal treatise with which it is aligned. This work follows the rules of textual criticism and offers an expanded translation of each verse, framed by the text that has been examined.
The book is written so that the reader can either read it through or use it as a reference to examine each verse individually or as a group. Teachers and pastors will find this expository approach helpful in preparing sermons and lessons.

Paviland Cave: Then To Stand On The Shoulders Of God
The Paviland cave on the Gower Peninsula, South Wales. It held the remains of a ritual burial to be over 33.000 years old. Is as relevant today in respect that it shows the idea of a connection with us now (wherever we live throughout the world). With the idea that there is some sort of afterlife expectation for us all. Hence, grave goods were left for future use, even if in memorandum. See what you think.
But don't be put off by the thrust of the work. Which, by my style, is to promote the reality of God. Even if to explain how some aspects of science by celebrities are letting us down. Along with how most aspects of politics are in chaos. Yet expect to lead us into a dark future by their blundering. It is in our hands, no matter what, to improve the prospects for our young worldwide. By how we can refocus them and ourselves on the real idea. That our lives and living were not just occurrences, nor were they set by anyone or God, even.
But in the void of time owed to all living creatures. Plus us of humanity, be we Black, Brown, Yellow or White of skin. Are we the only species to have shown we have the ability to think? In such noble and honourable ways as to stun God, when he compares us with all the other creature species alive now or ever to have existed. But bear this in mind. God can't tell us yet, until we clear his path.
