In our contemporary culture, the dance between husbands and wives and “who’s in charge?” creates a minefield of tension and controversy. Paul doesn’t have any trouble with it at all. He tells us right off that as Christian husbands and wives, the only answer to “who’s in charge?” is clear: it’s Jesus! And then, based on our understanding and acceptance of a required mutual submission to Christ, God has ordained authority structures in society, including in marriage, with no intent or desire of subjugating anyone. In fact, the opposite is true! As believers who seek to be submitted to Christ, we will be able to see that His structures for marriage, the family, and our work lives—are all given to bless us, and make possible relationships with mutual honor, respect, protection, support. And once again, it depends on us being a certain kind of people, with the right hearts and motives.

There is no area of our lives that is more of a “barometer” of our spiritual condition than the area of our finances. A quick look will tell you whether or not its all about you, or if you instead are wiling to put God first in your finances, often against all human logic. Today, as we consider another angle focused on this matter of growth through giving, we’ll take our first look at what it means to put your faith before the bottom line. The ultimate question in life is perhaps this: Can I trust God? And the second is much like it: Will I trust God?

We all get angry. How quickly do you get there and what do you do with it? Most of us speak too quickly, often before we think. What if you learned to be quiet a little more often. And nearly all of us do not listen enough. What if we truly did listen twice as much as we speak? Maybe, just maybe our walk with Jesus and our relationship with others would be more fruitful, more consistent, less troublesome. We all would do well to memorize in our minds, mouths and hearts James 1:19. Especially the lines, “be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry”. Imagine how differently good it would be.

In today’s section of our new study of the book of James, we learn that there are two desired outcomes for our lives, one from God and one from Satan. God desires to give us wonderful gifts, the real deal, life now and life eternal. Satan offers only counterfeits of the “good and perfect gifts” God offers. But guess which gifts we often choose? Satan is the master of deception, the “Father of Lies.” James offers a wonderful explanation of his strategies to ruin us, and also offers a beautiful, contrasting picture of God, the “Father of Lights” who wants to give us “every good and perfect gift.” Who’s your daddy?

If you laughed a bit at the title of this new series, you were not alone. And that’s because you and I (and every other non-delusional person) know that perfection on human terms is not going to happen. Still, the scriptures show that we are “being perfected”—being made complete—as we, through grace and the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit, become more and more like Jesus. Part of that comes with age and wisdom and experience. Part of it comes because we want it to come. Most of it comes simply by the grace of God as He works His work in redeeming and re-creating us. James, the half-brother of Jesus Christ, is literally giving us a “how to” manual as it relates to living the Christian life. It’s practical. It’s daunting. It’s certainly convicting. As we take our first overhead look today, you, too, will come to understand when I say, “James would understand.”

It can be almost overwhelming sometimes when we sit back and watch the world spinning ever-so-quickly toward anarchy and chaos. We see it world-wide, but we can’t help but see it in our own nation, especially when we consider the corruption and/or ineptitude of leadership at the highest levels. Sometimes it feels like we don’t have a chance! But if you look back through history, even to the time when Jesus came to earth, it was really much the same. Evil rulers dominated the landscape and tried their best to exert their evil wills in all directions. One was a dynasty we know as “the Herods.” Bottom line, though, is that the Herods are all gone. And even though new evil leaders will and do follow in their footsteps, their day will end. They will die and face inescapable judgment. But Jesus conquered death, and He still lives! It’s good to remember history; it’s good to have open eyes and see what’s going on. But maybe it’s better to keep our eyes on God and remember that our God reigns! He is not a God of chaos. In fact, it is out of chaos that He creates order, exactly according to His purpose. You can trust Him!
