Read practicing the way pages 2-3 We’re so familiar with this reading that it’s easy to miss just how strange it is.

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her, so that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, that He might present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she…

The Gospel Fixes eternity and forms our values in this world.
