Good Morning!

  "Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says."  ~ James 1:22

 

I know I have shared this before but again it brings to memory a Sunday School song I sang as a child. I only knew the first verse but apparently there were 3 more. I'm so thankful these songs I sang years and years ago, continue to live on in my heart today. ~Mindy 

For those unfamilar with the song you can click HERE to hear the tune.

The B-I-B-L-E

Yes that's the book for me

I stand alone on the word of God

The B-I-B-L-E

The B-I-B-L-E

I'll take along with me

I'll read and pray and then obey

The B-I-B-L-E

By F-A-I-T-H

I'm S-A-V-E-D

I'll stand alone

on the word of God

The B-I-B-L-E

The B-L-O-O-D

That Jesus shed for me

Cleansed me from sin

I belong to Him

The B-L-O-O-D

 Call to Worship: James 1:1-8

 Prayer

 Offering and Doxology

 Hymn #32 “How Firm A Foundation” 

 Responsive Reading: James 1:19-27

 Leader:19 My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, 

All: 20 because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires. 

 Leader:21 Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent, and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you.

 All: 22 Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. 

 Leader:23 Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror

 All: 24 and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. 

 Leader:25  But whoever looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues in it—not forgetting what they have heard, but doing it—they will be blessed in what they do.

 All: 26 Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues deceive themselves, and their religion is worthless. 

 Leader:27 Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world

Old churches must not simply stand as monuments to the past but as spiritual grandparents that have invested in the future by passing on their life to others and releasing their offspring to form new congregations. ~ unknown

 Isn't it so comforting to know that NOTHING and NO ONE can steal your peace today?

Because if peace = Jesus, AND JESUS NEVER LEAVES YOU, then peace is always yours.
