Peter in his first epistle is going to tell us about living for Christ as pilgrims in a hostile land. He begins by reminding us that we have all the mercy we need to live victoriously through every situation of life. Alexander Maclaren describes Christ’s mercy, “like water in a vase that takes the shape of the vessel that holds it. On the one hand, His grace is infinite, and is given to every one of us according to the […]

A.C. Dixon in one of his books had this to say about the power of prayer: “When we rely on organization, we get what organization can do; when we rely on education, we get what education can do; when we rely on eloquence we get what eloquence can do; but when we rely on prayer, we get what God can do!” I don’t know about you, but what I want and need in my life is what God can do.

A wise-guy once said, “They say it’s better to be poor and happy than rich and miserable. But couldn’t something be worked out, such as moderately rich and a little bit moody!” Actually, I don’t think any of us would mind being at least a little bit rich. James begins chapter five of his book with what seems to be an admonition against being rich. He says, “Howl you rich, for your miseries that are coming upon you!” That passage […]

Novelist Jack Higgens, the author of bestseller The Eagle Has Landed, was once asked what he would have like to have known as a boy. He responded, “I would have liked to have known that when you get to the top, there is nothing there.” In today’s text, James will remind us that life is nothing more than a vapor, and even for those who make it to the top, there is often nothing there. Not only that, the world […]

Several years ago Dr. Griffith Thomas was asked if he thought the world was becoming more and more Christian. He responded, “No, I don’t think that is true. I think the world is becoming a little churchy, while the church is becoming immensely worldly.” Today, I don’t think we could even say the world is a little churchy, but we sure can say that the church is immensely worldly. In today’s text, James is going to tell us about the […]

Many of the exhortations James gives us in his book would make great New Year resolutions for 2016. In today’s text, we find one that could perhaps be “the mother” of all New Year resolutions– that we would resolve to control our tongues. The problem with such a resolution is that it seems to be impossible to keep. James says in 3:8 that “No man can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.” So would […]

Years ago when we were struggling financially while in seminary, a good friend of mine got word of my plight and came to me and handed me a blank check. He told me he had $10,000 in the account and that I could write the check for any amount I needed up to that amount. I turned his offer down, but was greatly blessed by his token of love. I had known this man for a couple of years. We […]
