The 12th Sunday After Pentecost, Aug. 31, 2003 (Proper 17B)
Deut. 4:1-9; Psalm 15; Eph. 6:10-20; Mark 7:1-8, 14-15, 21-23
Look It Up
In Eph. 6:13-14, what powerful word is used twice? What is Paul exhorting the faithful to do? Under what circumstances are they called to do it?
Think About It
In the listing of the armor and weapons found in Ephesians 6:13-17, what major part of the body is left unprotected? With armor for this part “missing,” why does Paul still refer to “the whole armor of God”?
