Show Yourself Thankful

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body; and be thankful.
Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God.
Colossians 3:15-16 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/col.3.15-16.NASB1995

Let the peace of Christ act as arbiter in your heart. He is the One who holds the absolute power of judgment in your life. Surrender your life and be part of the body of Christ and show yourself thankful.
Let His word dwell in you and join in joyful singing with others, overflowing with thankfulness to God for the blessing of the fellowship of His saints together.

Are you thankful for the body of Christ? Are you participating with the body of Christ for the purpose and glory of God?
Are you a member of the body of Christ.

* If you desire to be a believer, a member of the body in Jesus Christ, please seek out a believer you know and talk with them. You will be thankful you did.

🌹Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.

Trustworthy?

Sep2

But above all, my brethren, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or with any other oath; but your yes is to be yes, and your no, no, so that you may not fall under judgment.
James 5:12 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jas.5.12.NASB1995

Can we be trusted to speak truth? Is our Yes, yes; our No, no?

But I (Jesus) say to you, make no oath at all, either by heaven, for it is the throne of God, or by the earth, for it is the footstool of His feet, or by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. Nor shall you make an oath by your head, for you cannot make one hair white or black.
🌹But let your statement be, ‘Yes, yes’ or ‘No, no’; anything beyond these is of evil.

Judge or Reconciler?

Aug28

Do not complain (groan), brethren, againstone another, so that you yourselves may not be judged; behold, the Judge is standing rightat the door.
James 5:9 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jas.5.9.NASB1995

Complaining never solves anything. It causes division, grumbling, separation and so much more. Take the matter at hand to the one concerned and attempt reconciliation.

Do not speak against one another, brethren. He who speaks against a brother or judges his brother, speaks against the law and judges the law; . . . .
James 4:11 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jas.4.11.NASB1995

God is the Judge. Not you. Not me.

but they will give account to Him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.
1 Peter 4:5 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/1pe.4.5.NASB1995

Therefore do not go on passing judgment before the time, but wait until the Lord comes who will both bring to light the things hidden in the darkness and disclose the motives of men’s hearts; and then each man’s praise will come to him from God.
1 Corinthians 4:5 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/1co.4.5.NASB1995

🌹There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the One who is able to save and to destroy; but who are you who judge your neighbor?

Confident Teaching

Jul14

Let not many of you become teachers, my brethren, knowing that as such we will incur a stricter judgment.
James 3:1 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jas.3.1.NASB1995

Those who teach should first teach themselves.
Do we try to teach others and yet do not adhere to the the Bible by following the ways of our Lord?
A teachers goal in instruction is to love from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith.
Beware that we do not turn aside to fruitless discussion and speak of things we do not understand.
Romans 2:17-23/1 Timothy 1:5-8 NASB1995

God takes teaching others very seriously. Adherence to God’s Word, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, is of utmost importance for teachers, for they will incur a greater condemnation.

🌹Rejoice that God has chosen you to be a teacher. Just be aware it comes with high expectations. Rely upon the Master.

Showing Mercy

Jul1

If, however, you are fulfilling the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing well.
But if you show partiality, you are committing sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors.
For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all. For He who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not commit murder.” Now if you do not commit adultery, but do commit murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.
James 2:8-11 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/jas.2.8-11.NASB1995

No matter the sin, big or small, sin is a transgression of the Lord’s law.

If we do not love our neighbor – anyone who is not us – we sin.

If we show favoritism to some; looking down on others, we sin.

Abiding by all the laws yet neglecting one, we are transgressors, sinners, of the entire law.

for you once were not a people, but now you are the people of God; you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
1 Peter 2:10 NASB1995
https://bible.com/bible/100/1pe.2.10.NASB1995

🌹So speak and so act as those who are to be judged by the law of liberty. For judgment will be merciless to one who has shown no mercy; mercy triumphs over judgment.
James 2:12-13 NASB1995
