    based on 4 ratings
     | 12,134 views

    All hope of man’s redemption is founded on Christ, in Whom alone are all complete fullness, perfections, and sufficiency. There is a completion or a filling up, in him, so as to leave nothing wanting.

As he was returning home one of the squash seeds he had purchased fell from his pocket onto the ground. It happened that within a few feet was another seed of a different type.

    You know the slogan, 'Do the Dew'? Well, James has a new slogan for us; it's, 'Do the Word'. Let's find out why it's important to be a doer of the word and not just a hearer.

    DO THE WORD James 1:22-25 1) What are the dangers of being a listener only? • We are deceived (Vs. 22). We are deceived if we think that following God’s demands are optional. We are deceived if we think it’s no big deal if we remain a hearer and not a doer. Talk is cheap. We can ...read more

    Be circumspect and cautious about what you hear, don't fall for flowery language, flattery words, too-good-to-be-true praises, loud applauses and claps! It can be fake, exaggeration and altogether trash.
