    based on 6 ratings
     | 8,805 views

    The same tongue which responds to God’s manifest glories by blessing His holy name also denigrates the poor - the widow, the orphan, and the resident alien - who, like us, are made in His image.

    BRIDLING THE TONGUE. James 3:1-12. “If anyone thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this man’s religion is vain” (James 1:26). James 3:1. James begins his elucidation of this text with a warning against seeking pre-eminence amongst the brethren. This ...read more

     | 357 views

    Like the widow in 2 Kings 4, you may feel like you have nothing, but God is asking, "What do you have in your hand?" The little you have is enough for God to work a great miracle if you surrender it to Him.

    WHAT DO YOU HAVE IN YOUR HAND? By Rev. Samuel Arimoro Main Text: 2 Kings 4:1-7 "And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do for thee? tell me, what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thine handmaid hath not any thing in the house, save a pot of oil." – 2 Kings 4:2 Supporting ...read more

    The widow's offering. 4 verses, we often breeze through them and pull out a few tried and true statements about giving. But a deeper look gives many more principles to apply.

    Here's what I want us to see: this is part of a bigger story. This isn't just a talk about giving, but it's a continuation of what's been happening with the scribes and Pharisees. To fully understand this set of verses, we actually have to back up to the last couple of verses of ...read more
