Commentary
by St. John Chrysostom:
Homily XIX.
 | "The evil of the day ought to
belong to the day. What is the evil of a body? Disease. And what
again the evil of the soul? Wickedness. What is the evil of water?
Bitterness. And the evil of each particular thing, is with reference
to that nature of it which is affected by the evil." |
|
| From the
Geneva Notes.
| "The worse and more corrupt
that the manners of this world are, the more watchful we ought to be
in every situation, and give regard to nothing but the will of
God." |
|
| From
Matthew Henry's
Commentary.
| "Another remedy against sin,
is care, or caution, it being impossible else to maintain purity of
heart and life." |
|
|
The Heinous Sin of
Drunkenness (Eph 5:18): sermon by George Whitefield. |
| From
Wesley's
Notes.
| "With all possible care
redeeming the time - Saving all you can for the best purposes;
buying every possible moment out of the hands of sin and Satan; out
of the hands of sloth, ease, pleasure, worldly business; the more
diligently, because the present are evil days, days of the grossest
ignorance, immorality, and profaneness." |
|
|
On Redeeming the Time
(Eph 5:16). Sermon by John Wesley. |
| From the
Commentary on the Whole Bible
(Jamieson, Fausset and Brown, 1871).
| "The days of life in general
are so exposed to evil, as to make it necessary to make the most of
the seasonable opportunity so long as it lasts." |
|
| From
The People's
New Testament, B.W. Johnson, 1891.
| "While the lips sing, the
heart must join in the melody by an uplifting to God. Too much
singing in the churches is only of the lips." |

coming together in a wholeness in which, connected to Jesus as one body,
we seek to fill the whole of reality with God's goodness." |

for Everything," Ronald Goetz, The Christian Century,
1997. At Religion Online.
| "How is it humanly possible to
give thanks for "everything"? Can anyone express gratitude
for a disastrous accident? Is it even ethical to give thanks for the
death of a neighbor we despise? Are we to thank God when we hear of
the death of strangers?" |
