As you enter this mysterious realm, don't forget: "wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere. 18 And a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace." James 3:17-18

Please pray for me as I am a recovering alcoholic and I've been sober for 96 days and would love for my life to remain in his word and be obedient! Amen❤

Jesus give me strength I seem to bear the weight of the world on my shoulders as a single mom, I often face challenges that can seem insurmountable especially with raising two children with special needs. I won’t give up but Lord I’m so discouraged. I’m trying to balance everything but Lord I’m struggling to make ends meet, to pay bills, and to put food on the table for my children. Jesus hear my prayers and please continue to give me strength.

So glad that spicy Luther didn’t get his way; in the book of James was where I first encountered Holy Spirit as the Teacher.

Praying for all who's asking' and may God glorious hand prevail against your circumstances Amen

I've never thought of James as difficult. Seems one of the easiest. Since peter said pauls writing were hard to understand, I've always used the simpler books like James to help me understand Paul because as peter says, those who misinterpret Paul do it to their own peril.

There are several verses that struck and I find joy in hearing it. Thank you for this and God bless you more.

11:20 --- seeing vs doing / looking at a mirror and forgetting versus looking at his law and remembering....
brings to mind Ps 1:
"blessed is the man.... ...his delight is in the Law of YHVH,
and on His law he meditates day and night"

[expressoevangelism]

Always loved the book of James. To me it always seemed to be a straightforward book of instructions.

What’s the problem?

Get on with it in faith, and live it out.

God bless.

Wow! How is it you don't know who James was speaking of? He was speaking of the house of Israel that was carried off by the Assyrians back in 721 BC. God divorced the northern tribes of Israel because of their abominations they they continued to commit. Why do you think Jesus told the woman that He did not come except for the lost sheep of the house of Israel which made it posible for gentiles to be grafted into Israel? Jesus did not die to deliver us from Gods law, He died because we all broke His law. Read genesis thru revelation and you will see Gods laws were around from the beginning. Abraham kept Gods laws and statutes and he was around long before the Israelites at Mt. Sinai. Jesus himself kept Gods laws perfectly and we are told to walk as Jesus walked. Pauls problems with the laws was the same as Jesus had, with man made laws that brought Gods laws to no affect.

I don't understand how there can be so much difficulty chapter two,
Right away I think of Matt 5:16
Our works should show our faith, and May our work shine brightly so that the folks around us glorify our Father..

Thank you so very much for this, I followed in my Bible, and read out loud some verses.
We must stay strong, stay true to God's teachings, I know from my past it is not always easy, especially, at times when I will curse.
