    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

    Absence A strange silence I have never heard As I walk a path alone, An unfamiliar moment When I realize you are gone. As I look around to notice That the roads have all been changed For there’s one that now is fading At a place I called your name. So I must go on without you With the memories ...read more

    James 4

     | 5,109 views

    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

    You Got Future Plans?

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Mar 3, 2009
    based on 10 ratings
     | 6,420 views

    It is good to have goals, but goals will disappoint us if we leave God out of them. There is no point in making plans as though God did not exist, because the future is in His hands. That man walks most safely who has the least confidence in himself.

    Opening illustration: Fortuneteller, gazing into crystal ball, to frog: You are going to meet a beautiful young woman. From the moment she sets eyes on you she will have an insatiable desire to know all about you. She will be compelled to get close to you - you’ll fascinate her." Frog: "Where am I? ...read more

    While we are careful to avoid doing what is wrong, we often neglect doing what is right.

    JAMES 4:17 SINS OF OMISSION ”Whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin.” It is one thing to be ignorant of what is expected and to thus offend; it is quite another thing to know what is right and yet fail to do it. We evangelical Christians are familiar with the ...read more
