Faith and Wisdom
Please
join with us sharing God’s Word daily. We will spend about fifteen
minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s Word in approximately
three years. Gods
Not Dead!
An overview of the book
of James: “This epistle of James is one of the most instructive writings
in the New Testament. Being chiefly directed against particular errors at
that time brought in among the Jewish Christians, it does not contain the
same full doctrinal statements as the other epistles, but it presents an
admirable summary of the practical duties of all believers. The leading
truths of Christianity are set forth throughout; and on attentive
consideration, it will be found entirely to agree with St. Paul's statements
concerning grace and justification, while it abounds with earnest
exhortations to the patience of hope and obedience of faith and love, interspersed
with warnings, reproofs, and encouragements, according to the characters
addressed. The truths laid down are very serious, and necessary to be
maintained; and the rules for practice ought to be observed in all times. In
Christ there are no dead and sapless branches, faith is not an idle grace;
wherever it is, it brings forth fruit in works.“ - Matthew
Henry Concise.
Dear
Saints,
Today we prayerfully continue our Feast by reading
the book of James Chapter 1; How
to apply to God under troubles, and how to behave in prosperous and in
adverse circumstances. (1-11) To
look upon all evil as proceeding from ourselves, and all good from God.(12-18) The
duty of watching against a rash temper, and of receiving the word of God with
meekness. (19-21) And
of living according thereto. (22-25) The
difference between vain pretences and real religion. (26,27)“ - Matthew Henry Concise.
The
testing of our faith serves to build and
strengthen our faith in Jesus (see
James 1:1-11) so we can
endure both the good and bad times. God is good He sent His only son Jesus to
save us (see James 1:12-18) the perfect gift that overcame sin and death. We must be humble and obey Jesus (see James 1:19-21) sharing the
good news in a manner that glorifies God. It is not enough to be in church every
Sunday and Wednesday hearing the Word of God (see James 1:22-25) we must
be doing God’s Word with every deed we do and word we speak. We don’t deceive ourselves with an unbridled
tongue, we must bring our heart and mind into submission in Jesus; “26 If
anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his
tongue but deceives his heart, this person's religion is
worthless. 27 Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the
Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows
in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained
from the world.” James 1:26-27 English Standard Version (ESV). We must continually strive to discipline
our whole self mind and body (see
Ephesians
6:11-13) to serve God in every
circumstance. By the same token we must
train our earthly and spiritual children to honor and obey the Holy Spirit; “6
Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not
depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6 ESV. We have enduring faith
because of God’s power (see 1
Corinthians 2:5) and not because of human wisdom.

Today’s Feast

“For I know the plans I have for you,
declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future
and a hope.” Jeremiah
29:11
Dear
Saints,
Today
we prayerfully continue our Feast by reading the book of Ezekiel Chapter 48;
“- Here is a description of the several portions of the land belonging to
each tribe. In gospel times, behold all things are become new. Much is
wrapped up in emblems and numbers. This method God has used to state
mysterious truths in his word, not to be more clearly revealed till the
proper time and season. But into the church of Christ, both in its state of
warfare and triumph, there is free access by faith, from every side. Christ
has opened the kingdom of heaven for all believers. Whoever will, may come,
and take of the water of life, of the tree of life, freely. The Lord is
there, in his church, to be nigh unto them in all they call upon him for.
This is true of every real Christian; whatever soul has in it a living
principle of grace, it may truly be said, The Lord is there. May we be found
citizens of this holy city, and act agreeably to that character; and have the
benefit of the Lord's presence with us, in life, in death, and for evermore.“ - Matthew Henry Concise.
The
LORD God divides the land (see
Ezekiel 48) equally for
those who love Him and He promises He will dwell among them; “35 ... And the name of the
city from that time on shall be, The LORD Is There."” Ezekiel
48:35, English Standard Version (ESV). Likewise Jesus promises to stay (see Hebrews
13:5) with those who love
Him. “6
Oh come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the LORD, our
Maker! 7 For he is our God, and we are the people of his pasture, and the
sheep of his hand. Today, if you hear his voice,” Psalm 95:6-7 ESV. God’s Word tell
us that not only will he stay with those who love and serve Him; (see
Romans
8:28) he will promote those who are called according to God’s purpose.

Today’s Feast
Aug. 30, 2014-Ezekiel 47
The Stream Flowing from the
Temple

“6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the
Father except through me.” John 14:6
Dear
Saints,
Today
we prayerfully continue our Feast by reading the book of Ezekiel Chapter 47;
“- These waters signify the gospel of Christ, which went forth from
Jerusalem, and spread into the countries about; also the gifts and powers of
the Holy Ghost which accompanied it, by virtue of which is spread far, and
produced blessed effects. Christ is the Temple; and he is the Door; from him
the living waters flow, out of his pierced side. They are increasing waters.
Observe the progress of the gospel in the world, and the process of the work
of grace in the heart; attend the motions of the blessed Spirit under Divine
guidance. If we search into the things of God, we find some things plain and
easy to be understood, as the waters that were but to the ankles; others more
difficult, which require a deeper search, as the waters to the knees, or the
loins; and some quite beyond our reach, which we cannot penetrate; but must,
as St. Paul did, adore the depth, (Romans 11 )
. It is wisdom to begin with that which is most easy, before we proceed to
that which is dark and hard to be understood. The promises of the sacred
word, and the privileges of believers, as shed abroad in their souls by the
quickening Spirit, abound where the gospel is preached; they nourish and
delight the souls of men; they never fade nor wither, nor are exhausted. Even
the leaves serve as medicines to the soul: the warnings and reproofs of the
word, though less pleasant than Divine consolations, tend to heal the
diseases of the soul. All who believe in Christ, and are united to him by his
sanctifying Spirit, will share the privileges of Israelites. There is room in
the church, and in heaven, for all who seek the blessings of that new
covenant of which Christ is Mediator.“ - Matthew Henry Concise.
Remember where we came from; we did not know about Christ (see Ephesians
2:12) were living in this
world without hope and without salvation. Through faith in Jesus
we have been saved; “19 So then you are no longer strangers
and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the
household of God,” Ephesians 2:19 ESV. Saints remember without
Jesus there is no city that lasts forever (see Hebrews
13:14) but by faith we are waiting
for that city.
Do you hear Jesus calling you?
Do you want answer God’s call?
Do you want to find true happiness, peace and purpose in your
life? If the answer is yes to any of
these questions please click the following link; admenu.com/calling.htm
