Vicki Keiser, Church Council and Stephen’s Ministry James 5:1-6 Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming on you. 2 Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. 3 Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days. 4 Look! The wages you failed to pay the workers who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty. 5 You have [...]

Chrissie Prichard James 4:13-17 Pay attention, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to such-and-such a town. We will stay there a year, buying and selling, and making a profit.” You don’t really know about tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for only a short while before it vanishes. Here’s what you ought to say: “If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.” But now you boast and brag, and all such boasting is evil. It is a sin when someone knows the right thing to do and [...]

Lavonne Baker, Sister in Christ   James 4:11-12 “Brothers do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against this brother or judges him speaks against the law and judges it. When you judge the law, you are not keeping it, but sitting in judgement on it. There is only one lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and destroy.  But you – who are you to judge your neighbor?” NIV   “Don’t bad-mouth each other, friends. It’s God’s Word, his Message, his Royal Rule, that takes a beating in that kind of talk.  You’re supposed to [...]

For those in hard times

God of love, You know the woman I met yesterday whose heart was broken, who wondered if she could keep on going? She said she could only do it for the sake of her children. I pray for her today. Give her strength to take one more step, not just for them, but for herself as well. You know my friend who is struggling with addiction? He has made it a couple of weeks, but he says it is really hard. He tells me it is one day, even one hour at a time. I pray that you will help him stay [...]

Thursday, October 21: To Have a Friend

Brittney Ford, Member since 2007 James 4:7-9  Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. Reflection: My mother-in-law used to always tell her boys growing up “to have a friend, you have to be a friend.” I love these words, and I find myself using them on my children, my students, and even the adults in my [...]

Charity Autry, Member since 2008, Sunday School Leader, Starting Point Leader, VBS Chair, sinner James 4:1-6 1 What causes fights and quarrels among you?  Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you?  2You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight.  You do not have because you do not ask God. 3When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures. 4You adulterous people, don’t you know that friendship with [...]

Linda Burch James 3:  13-18 NIV 13 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. 14 But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth. 15 Such “wisdom” does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. 16 For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice. 17 But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then [...]

Suzi Pitts James 3:1-12 1Not many of you should become teachers, my fellow believers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly.2 We all stumble in many ways. Anyone who is never at fault in what they say is perfect, able to keep their whole body in check. 3 When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal. 4 Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder [...]

Run, walk, or just trudge along

God of love, Some days, I feel like I am running with the wind behind me. It feels like my prayers are answered, my work fruitful, my relationships easy and comfortable, the future bright, and the road ahead smooth. But there are other times too when each step feels heavy and prayers seem empty when work seems to yield only thorns and thistles (Gen 3:17), and relationships seem strained and difficult. There are days when I simply wonder what tomorrow will bring. And yet, it is those “other times” that I find myself more often in the Chapel on my [...]

Rachel Fisher, Children’s Ministries Communications Specialist James 2:14-26 (NIV) 14 What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? 15 Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. 16 If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? 17 In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. 18 But someone will say, “You have faith; I [...]
