Pastor Dave's Weekly Blog- Hearing and Doing- James 1:19-27

Hearing and Doing- James 1:19-27

This strikes me as a pretty tame title for a pretty in-your-face piece of scripture.  As I studied James this week, it rocked me.  These few verses are a marvelously balanced and apportioned presentation of a big truth that will rock our world as we really get hold of it.

Pastor Dave's Blog: God in the Stress and the Mess

Blog: God in the Stress and the Mess
 
Hi Everyone—some thoughts on James 1:
 
Count it all joy- We spoke last Sunday about the fact that there are two ways of looking at our lives in this world- through godly wisdom, or through worldly “wisdom”. Both seem perfectly logical and true from their own perspective, but only one accords with Ultimate Reality, and produces joy and life. The other seems right for a time but gradually destroys our lives, and i

Life Journal Thoughts from Stephanie

Aug. 6

1 Cor. 13- Talks about God comforting Paul, but bringing a friend.  Also, it talks about how grief in our spirits can lead us to repentence and how taht is a good thing.  

Lord, help me to grieve for things I need to grieve for and to be broken for you.  Cleansing my spirit from hidden unrighteousness.  Help me not to be bitter or hold frustration in my heart toward anyone around me, but instead release that to you, so that I can truly love those.  Give me the strength and endurance to do this daily.  Amen.
