james 3:13-17


James 3:13-17

“Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it by their good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth. Such “wisdom” does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice. But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.”

“Who is wise and understanding among you?” This is one line that really spoke to me, “who is wise.” Yes, we all have the pastors in our mind but for me I have people that have shown me through their faith they have done good deeds. People who live outside of their flesh and live through him and for him in there every day life. My dad paid for some families’ groceries that didn’t have enough money even if it put our family in a tight money situation. My mom also worked in a smaller church as a children’s director that didn’t have a lot of funds. Every time she went shopping for actives for Wednesdays wow program or kids club she would spend her personal money knowing the kids wouldn’t be able to get the things she got through the funds she was giving by the church. These are the people that have made a bigger impact in my life because they have shown me how to live as a Christian and not just talk like one. Not to take anything away from pastors.

Text my dad in media time how mush his wisdom has encouraged me.

Revelations 14:9-10

Revelations 14:9-10 9Then a third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, “If anyone worships the beast and his image, and receives his mark on his forehead or on his hand,10 “he himself shall also drink of the wine of the wrath of god, which is poured out full strength into the cup of his indignation. He shall be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the lamb. This verse is what I call a come to Jesus verse because it scares the people that have not excepted Jesus. This is one verse that my mom has reminded me through out my life about. This verse opens your eyes up to how descriptive the bible is and how it describes exactly what is to come. I loved hearing about this part of scripture from my mom because I felt like she was helping prepare me. The last stanza goes into detail about the wrath of the lord and how he truly tells you what will happen to those who get the mark. The mark of the beast is one thing th...

luke 8: 22-25

Luke 8: 22-25 – “One day Jesus said to his disciples, Let us go over to the other side of the lake so they got into a boat and set out. As they sailed, he fell asleep. A squall came down on the lake, so they were in great danger. The disciples went and woke him, saying “Master, Master, we’re going to drown! He got up and rebuked the wind and the raging waters; the storm subsided and all was calm Where is your faith? He asked his disciples, in fear and amazement they asked one another “Who is this?” He commands even the winds and the water and they obey Him.” This verse makes me think about how we can’t fathom the power Jesus has. Calming a raging lake is not even able to be understood because no earthly thing can control weather. Jesus says where is your faith this made me think of what kind of faith I would have in that situation. I believe I would say exactly what they said because that is so unreal. Where is your faith, I had that line repeating in my head as I was doing this...

mark 10: 47-49

Mark 10: 47-49 When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout,” Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” many rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more,” Son of David, have mercy on me!” Jesus stopped and said, “call him.” So, they called the blind man, “Cheer up! On your feet. He’s calling you.   A simple blind man that had the courage to cry out to Jesus should show us how to stay strong today. The blind man Was shouting have mercy on me then many people rebuked him and told him to be quit.   But most of all he shouted even more, this made me think. This is how we should live are life when people are rebuking and trying to quit us. You must make a point to be louder with your faith by loving even more because those are the people that need us most. You must so be courage’s knowing full well you could be standing alone. We don’t have to spread the word but we must spread love and must care for others. people will automatically ...
