And now, unleashing God's truth one verse at a time, here's grace to you Bible teacher,

John MacArthur.

Well, we're going back to the Word of God, as always, but back in particular to Ephesians

after some time off.

And I need to say a thank you to all the men who so ably preached the word while I was away

for a bit. But we return to where we left off in Ephesians chapter 5. And this is a very brief

passage, and yet it opens up for us a vast, vast amount of biblical revelation.

It's almost unsearchable in what it maintains in terms of its scope.

But you'll understand that as I read verses 15 to 17.

Ephesians 5, 15 to 17.

Therefore be careful how you walk, not as unwise men, but as wise.

Making the most of your time because the days are evil.

So then do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the time because the days are evil.

So then do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.

Here we have the comparison between wisdom and foolishness.

This is a very, very prominent subject in Scripture.
