Stop Tolerating Each Other! A Sermon on Ephesians 5:15-6:16

This morning, I'll do two things you may not have heard a Christian preacher do. First, I'll preach about a Greek god whose name you may not know if you may have learned to adore. Second: I will do my best in times to come to persuade you to stop tolerating the other.

But first let a quick look at our reading of the Old Testament proverbs.Proverbs from the part of the Bible that we call the "messages of wisdom" and the text now provides a connection important that we hear an echo in John's gospel: "(Proverbs 9:5-6 NRSV ) "" Come, eat of my bread and drink wine, I mixed. Lay aside immaturity, and live and walk in the way of insight. "" Bread, wine, wisdom, a call to those who would be wise to put aside what is immature, and walk in the ways of the Lord.

Have you noticed that Paul made a similar distinction between the wise and foolish in his letter to the church of Ephesus?"Do not be a fool!" He ordered the Christians of Ephesus. Like our reading of Proverbs, it says that because of bread and wine, blood and body of Christ, Christians should live in a particular way - the path of wisdom and not the fool. But he briefly points to the manner of crazy. If we men are so busy beating our chests when we hear Paul's comment about our Head-being of women, and if you women are so busy being offended or defensive about that comment, then May and you miss a deeper meaning of Paul.To understand how Paul's comments on how a household or a Christian community must be ordered, you understand the allusion to Paul in the life of a fool.

Paul makes the comparison between the wise and the fool in a few terse words: "Do not get drunk with wine which leads to dissipation." Not to be filled with the spirit of alcohol, but the spirit of God . We often hear this as a warning against drunken behavior.But when you dig deeper into the historical context and other writings in the tradition of Paul, we discover that it is in fact an allusion to a new way of living that was then and is now quite attractive: the way Dionysus....
