    "Future Tense"

    Contributed by David Henderson on Sep 21, 2013
     | 4,066 views

    All of us want to know what the future holds for us. But the Bible teaches that we walk by faith, not by sight. The future at times looks very tense, especially if we do not include God in our planning. He must be involved in every detail of life.

    “Future Tense” James 4:13-17 In the film Back to the Future, Michael Fox plays the role of a guy named Marty MacFly who suddenly is thrown back into time 30 years earlier. Because he knows what the future hold for his family he feels compelled to make sure things happen the way they ...read more

    What determines things in life? Chance, fate, karma? Who determines things in life? Me, others, Satan? God is the great Determinator.

    In this text James is making the point to the readers that knowing the future is not near as important as being prepared for the future.

    The businessmen in James 4 don’t seem to be boastful and proud to me... and yet God says they were. What makes a person proud?

    OPEN: Dr. Seuss once wrote a poem entitled: “The Places You’ll Go” And part of it goes like this: “You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself any direction you choose. You’re on your own. And you know what you know. And YOU are the guy who’ll decide where to ...read more

    When we speak against another brother we are actually showing hate toward the law of love!

    James tells us how to turn hatred into humility, judgment into justice and boasting into belief.

    There is a stark contrast in tone from chapter 3 to chapter 4 Chapter 3 (taming the tongue) closes with words like peace, gentleness, mercy, good fruits…it kind of ends on a good tone…but CH 4 contains words like fights, quarrels, lust, hate, envy, pride and sin. In CH 4 James gives clear advice on ...read more

    A very last-minute message given during a service after the death of my father-in-law the previous week.

    Note: this message was put together in about 2 minutes during the singing portion of the service, and was not the message I had intended to give! Therefore this is a very sparse outline. The audio version fleshes this out, and I would encourage you to listen to that as you look at this ...read more
