Here we go again another volume in my New Old Sayings series.The idea that God speaks to us is in a deeply personal way is nonsensical to the worldly.The truth of the matter is: God speaks.And that says it all.I offer here the fifth volume of New Old Sayings. Once again, I don't end this book by saying, "Thus said the Lord." I do not claim literal inspiration for what is contained within these pages. I do say that God speaks to me. He speaks to me primarily through His Word as contained in the Bible.I find Him weaving His way through books, songs, paintings, poetry, movies, and websites. Everywhere I look I see God.His voice cascades through my reality infusing and embracing everything. Even those who reject God, even those who try with all their might to deny Him give context and substance to His words, "The fool has said in his heart, 'There is no God.'"

This book on Chapters Five and Six concludes my effort to share what I believe the Lord has given me through a study of Paul's Letter to the Ephesians. This has taken over thirty years to complete, and I pray that it will be a blessing to someone, somewhere, somehow.

This is the fourth volume of New Old Sayings. This offers another one thousand glimmers gleaned from more than sixty years of Dr. Owens' songs, poems, essays, novels, books, lectures, speeches, personal conversations, contemplation, meditation, and education.
