We spend time. We try to save both time and money. Some say that time is money. The tie-ins and crossovers between these two most valuable of all commodities are endless. In the end of James chapter 4 into the first part of chapter 5, we are given advice, cautions, and warnings about how best to manage time and money. We can't stop time, and if we don't don't control money it can take over our heart.

Faith is more than an intellectual position or a heart-felt emotion. In James 2:20-24, Abraham is identified as a person of active faith. Look with me at the highs and lows of Abraham's life. He faced numerous challenges, but his faith was a constant. It produced what God promised: a blessing that still lingers today in Christ.

Listening to Jesus

Monday Oct 07, 2024
Listening to "the word" (James 1:22) is more than a matter of reading the scriptures. It's about who we listen to; that is, Jesus the Christ. In other words, the writings in the Bible reveal the Word of God, who is Jesus, the Son of God. (John 1:1) When we learn from Him we need then to act upon what we have learned.

Trusting God is a learned behavior. The teacher is faith in Christ and the text book is the trials of life. What has your pain taught you?

Monday Sep 16, 2024
Monday Sep 16, 2024
Though James, the "Lord's brother", is never mentioned as following Jesus before the crucifixion, he became a very important leader of the early church and wrote the epistle that bore his name. What changed after the resurrection?

Jonah: The Depth & Length of Mercy
Tuesday Sep 10, 2024
Tuesday Sep 10, 2024
