The Book of James – What about Tomorrow?
James 4:13-17 “Now listen, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.” Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow.

The Book of James – Desires that Battle Within
Today we delve into James 4:1-3. James writes about submitting to God and he begins with our wants. Each one of us have desires that can be used by the enemy as a snare to seek our own will and glory, causing us to step out of obedience to God. James causes us to reflect... Continue Reading →
The Book of James – Dead Faith or Saving Faith

The Fruit of the Spirit – Self-control
Photo by Marcin Jozwiak As we conclude the series on the Fruit of the spirit, we reflect on the last fruit - Self-control. In Acts 24:25, Paul talks about self-control while speaking about faith in Jesus. We know it as a fruit of the spirit (Gal 5:22-23) and read it as a quality that is... Continue Reading →
Fruit of the Spirit – Gentleness
