The Day I Met Jewel

The Day I Met Jewel

There�s this girl that I just think is splendid

Someone that I�m courting and best friends with

But when I met her�..

I can�t lie, I was nervous like first graders who fret school

But now I cherish and rejoice about the day I met Jewel

I remember so vividly it was a hot summer day

7-15-02, I had no idea what was about to come my way

And then I saw a site that was stunning to behold

I saw a rare jewel in a pot full of coals

Now it�s unlike me for me to do ...

The Remedy to Worldliness: Part 7 - James 4:10

Written by LaRosa Johnson

Wednesday, August 06, 2008

Having looked at nine imperatives, we have finally reached the tenth and final imperative that James has given as a remedy to the worldly indulgences that his readers were giving themselves over to. Their sinful state wasn't a pretty picture, but James has given them clear instructions over the course of these nine imperatives, showing them the steps that they need to take in order to ...

Tuesday, August 05, 2008

Now that we are in verse 9 of this passage, we have looked at half of the imperatives that James has given concerning the matter of turning from worldliness. Up to this point, James has instructed his readers to submit to God & resist the devil (v. 7), draw near to God, cleanse their hands and purify their hearts (v. . So far, all of these have dealt with the actual turning away from ...

The Remedy to Worldliness: Part 5 - James 4:8

Written by LaRosa Johnson

Tuesday, July 29, 2008

In our previous study, we looked at what it meant for a Jew to be ceremonially clean and saw how that related to James' plea for moral cleansing in the lives of Christians when he stated, "cleanse your hands, you sinners." This cleansing does not stand by itself though, at least not in this context. Along with having clean hands, James tells his readers that they also need to purify ...

We are still in James 4:8 where we are taking a close look at the imperatives that are contained within. In our previous time together, we spent a good amount of time discussing what it means to "draw near" and walking through both the Old and New Testaments to get a comprehensive understanding of what that means. Our study today takes a look at the first half of the second sentence ...

Your amusements

"So whether you eat or drink or whatever

1 Corinthians 10:31

Amusements are proper, both as to kind and

Christians. Whenever they become hindrances

to us in our Christian living or in our holy walk

Children presentation

Chema — Mon, 21 Jul 2008 20:10:18 GMT

Ok, many say that children must be "presented" to the Lord.. and (from what I've heard) it is based on

Quote:Luke 2:22

When the time of their purification according to the Law of Moses had been completed, Joseph and Mary took him to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord

But.. if we read the whole context, and pay attention to why Joseph and Mary presented Jesus, we see that verses from Exodus are quoted: Exodus 13:2,12, in verse 23:

He is independent of the world's opinion.

He cares little for the world's praise.

Does this verse mean that the whole prayer includes all believers or does it mean that from 20 to the end includes all belivers or is this verse only talking about the couple of verses before? This verse puts a question mark in my head because of verse 9 (same chapter). When we get to verse 9 we see that he is praying for the disciples only. But if verse 20 includes all of the prayer, ...

Using God by Kim Riddlebarger

Quote:It has been said that pride is the oldest sin in the universe and that it shows no signs of growing weaker with age. Pride is the overestimation of our own worth and the inevitable tendency to exaggerate our own accomplishments. If the Bible is clear about anything, it is that ours is a fallen race and that human pride is the inevitable consequence of the Fall. God warned the people of Israel to exercise great care in this regard,
