James 1 gives Christians a definition of the kind of religion that God is after. That kind of religion which is pure and undefiled will be both holy and will focus on taking care of those in desperate need. Some Christians denominations embrace 1/2 of what James is saying, and not the other 1/2. How can we bring the two sides of undefiled religion together?
Today we discuss the Bible promise that we will reap a harvest/blessing/benefit/impact if we do NOT give up in doing good and serving. Of more importance, we focus in on the one thing that Paul bragged about, and consider whether we should also brag and boast about the same thing. (We should!)
What does a mature Christian look like? Will they have great preaching ability, or lead a large church, or have miraculous gifts, or super nice sneakers? Actually, according to Jesus and Paul, we will be able to tell whether or not somebody is walking with Jesus by the fruit of their life. How can you and I produce this fruit of the Spirit? (Hint: we can't!)
It is enough that Jesus died to pay the price for our sins - we don't deserve such a gift. Eternal life with God is even more undeserved and unearned, and an incredibly wondrous gift also. Today's passage in Galatians shows us that forgiveness and eternal life aren't the only wonderful blessings that come through what Jesus did for His people!
King David is probably the most influential person in history on worship music and worship singing. He was also a great man of prayer. Today we read through one of the prayers of David, and learn three principles to help us in our prayer lives.
