James 1:25 But he who looks carefully into the faultless law, the [law] of liberty, and is faithful to it and perseveres in looking into it, being not a heedless listener who forgets but an active doer [who obeys], he shall be blessed in his doing (his life of obedience).
26 If anyone thinks himself to be religious (piously observant of the external duties of his faith) and does not bridle his tongue but deludes his own heart, this person's religious service is worthless (futile, barren).
27 External religious worship [religion as it is expressed in outward acts] that is pure and unblemished in the sight of God the Father is this: to visit and help and care for the orphans and widows in their affliction and need, and to keep oneself unspotted and uncontaminated from the world.
Thanks, Irene. I agree with you on that.
I have a testimony of healing. My daughter sprained her ankle Friday. By evening she could not put any weight on it. I kept confessing the Word over her all afternoon and evening. When she lay down at night I laid my hands on her and prayed the prayer of faith. She awoke yesterday able to walk on it! Amazing! Wonderful Jesus! All the sprains I ever had grew worse in the night and morning was far worse. Not for her! Not with the promise of His Word.
His Word is sure. And His works follow His Word.
Psalm 33:4 For the word of the Lord is right; and all His work is done in faithfulness.
John 14:10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority;the Father who dwells in Me does the works.
11 Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves.
12 Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father.
13 And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
14 If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.
I'll have to get back to this one. Time to head out the door in a few minutes, but the Lord is showing me things here that need to be brought out into the light.
Jere, hope you got through those storms all right.
HD, hold fast to the Word. Don't lose hope. God has never forsaken the righteous, nor has his seed ever begged bread. Has He not said? Will He not make it good? Surely, He will do that which He has said. Just thank Him and praise Him.
Hello, pc4, Glenda, Mark, and those who pop in from time to time. Mark, you almost in that category.Everything all right?
Dreadful things will and already are coming on the earth. To trust in natural means is futile. I will trust in the Lord. I will fear the Lord, and hope in His mercy, for He will keep me alive in famine.
He dwells in a house not made with hands. What kind of house is it? One built by specifications He has decreed. One without blemish, and of the highest quality. One holy and pure is of great value to the Lord likened to pure gold. A vessel of honor He will fill with His glory, as a cloud filled the temple of Solomon.
Have fun!Hi Friends!
We're off for a few days too! But not as long as pc4 - we'll be back on Thursday. We've had hot, hot, hot weather and we're going to a place where its even hotter!I know its not a big deal to those who live in warmer climates, but for those of us in the frozen (well, rainy anyway) North, its such a blessing! We've spent our days boating, hanging out at the lake, or staying inside where its nice and cool. Love you all! Ral.
No, I think our city is best.Weird day. Cloudy and 65. Better than too hot. My son is looking forward to the 4th, he loves fireworks. Never been able to afford any though. Our cities is THE best, with last year they ended with a green pair of dice!
Oh dear. The people who lived across the street, now gone, did that every year, but I don't think till 4. I wouldn't know. I sleep very well anyway.Last year, there was this guy (it had to be a guy, I'm sure) who seemed not far away, and every few minutes, he shot on off. From midnight to 4 a.m. My son said not to call on him, but we didn't get to sleep til he was done.
Gak!
Our region was that way for a long time, and we did have fires. Now we have rain every day. It's thundering now, but no rain here yet. Are there any restrictions in force in regards to the lack of rain?Hi ladies (I think it's an all ladies club these days),
Just a quick note to say hi. Been rather busy the past several days, but hope to catch up on your study as soon as possible.
Too bloody hot here and tons of smoke from all of the forest fires. I sure hope the idiots don't go off and shoot a bunch of fireworks. We haven't had rain in more than three weeks, the air and ground are very dry and it would not take much to start yet another massive fire.
