My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires. James 1:19-20
Guys: This section of James is referring to being a Doer of the Word, "Know the Word Do the Word". It's so easy to read and understand with our minds, but the ap...

Lets imagine, just for fun, someone wanting to get in shape by lifting weights...hold on...not the "fun" part yet. Now this person talks big about getting into shape and doesn't shut his yapper about it. So as you watch him work out (which is a little weird that you're watching but he has a big mouth), the second he puts any weight on the bar he lifts it up an inch and for...

"Now about that time Herod the king laid hands on some who belonged to the church in order to mistreat them. And he had James the brother of John put to death with a sword.

For some reason God wants me to learn about pain this week and the more I learn about it the less I feel I have truly experienced it, if ever, as an American Christian. The message in God's Word in the past couple of weeks has been consistent...pain. It almost seems coincidental, and I believe in coincidence like I believe in the easter bunny, but even the sermons I have b...

Usually giving birth is thought of as a good thing with a few notable exceptions (remember that Bill Cosby episode where he dreamed he was giving birth to a giant sub sandwich?). One of those exceptions is listed in James 1 when it talks about giving birth to sin.

My 6 year old son and I like to watch channels like the Discovery channel and National Geographic (can't beat Shark Week), well there is a show called the Dog Whisperer where Ceasar takes what seems like crazy out of control dogs and turns them into the most obedient house pet.
