What's the difference?

Love is our supreme obligation.

All religions of rule-following, including looking to God's law for hope, are but the same weak and worthless worldliness.

Galatians 4:8-11

Love means building others. Building others requires understanding, intentionality and orderliness.

1 Corinthians 14

Words are cheap. Finding someone who faithfully lives out his words is something else altogether!

Which part of a conversation do you most enjoy———the part where you listen and learn, or the part where you say what you think?

If you ever don't know what to do, James makes it simple...pray!

The whole world is “Live. Die. Repeat.”

Ecclesiastes 1:2-11

“We can never know who God is or even if he exists.” He has told us who he is and you know it is true by the way it pierces your heart.

Parables of guilt and grace from the story of David, Bathsheba and Uriah.

2 Samuel 11:1-12:25

Can you find the gospel in Genesis 3:20-24?

Genesis 3:20-24

“Go and learn what this means, 'I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.'” Have you done your homework?

The book of Hebrews speaks of six foundational elements to faith in Christ. Do you know them?

Hebrews 5:11-6:3

A believer knows, receives, follows and trusts Jesus.

Settle the gospel once and for all, so that you can begin to eternally explore its glory.

Hebrews 5:11-6:3

Why are God's rules not like a prison?

Galatians 3:23-26

Can you teach the foundations of faith in Jesus?

Hebrews 5:11-6:3

If Jesus had not become weak, then while Jesus would himself still be perfect, he would not be the perfect Savior.

Hebrews 4:14-5:10

The one who brings us to the throne of God's grace himself sits on the same throne.

Hebrews 4:14-5:10

We stay Christians when we keep coming to Christ.

Hebrews 4:14-5:10

With God's people / wandering alone / brought back by a brother / saved from Hell

If you ever don't know what to do, James makes it simple. But you need to follow the directions!

Confidence in the shelter of God's Son is the condition for salvation.

Hebrews 3:1-4:13

How compassionate is God to show us his purposes! We are not at all in the dark as we await the King of Glory.

USE your money now for justice and mercy, lest the “security” of your savings become your refuge... and demise.

The Bible does not teach us to fast or stay up late for the purpose of seeking a special calling from God.

God's Special Callings

The I AM gives out grace and mercy on the basis of sovereign freedom alone.

Jesus: the sovereign, victorious Savior-King.

Open your eyes to the broadcast of God's glory in the lives of ALL those around you!

Why is it that those who believe in predestination and those who believe in future promises for Israel are so often not the same people?

When we unjustly speak against others, we are acting like God. (And that's bad!)

Bible stories teach theology.

God's timing is not only perfect, it is revelatory.

How does a man/woman of faith responds to apparent contradictions in the Bible?

Do you know how to biblically recognize privilege in your life?

Christians are those who love God. Christians are those who love one another. Christians are those who love the lost.

Fruitfulness lies at the center of what it means to be a Christian.

Those with true wisdom don't talk about it; they show it.

Would you “waste” your life with me?

God’s kingdom is a kingdom of righteousness; a reality that remains firm in the New Covenant.

Matthew 5:17-20

The danger in teaching is found in the fact that it employs a powerful area of our lives with which we all struggle.

“Whatever overcomes a person, to that he is enslaved.”

2 Peter 2:17-22

We are counted righteous by faith-revealing works, since only a faith that works counts for anything.

God forbid that the Church draw people the way politicians do.

2 Peter 2:17-22

What does Jesus mean when he says, "your faith has made you well?"

Jonah did not love mercy though he happily received it. He simply loved himself.

What does it actually mean to worship the Lord?

Jesus' great disciples are those who are servants of all, because Jesus is the ultimate servant in the gospel.

"Better is the little that the righteous has"--it is enough to be abundant in generosity.

Psalms 37:25-26

If we gain a view of the day to come, we will lose the turmoil in our hearts today.

Psalms 37:12-13

Believers are living stones; non-believers trip over the keystone.

"The salvation of the righteous is from the Lord."

The Lord declares to his Son, the once-dead-king, "Rise up, O God; judge the earth. For you shall inherit the nations!"

We shall have no fear in stumbling if we are holding God's hand.

Psalms 37:23-24

Be dumbfounded for the glory of God!

Threats may in fact win the day, but not the third.

Hate everything that revolves around you. Willingly walk the road of suffering. Renounce all that you possess.

Jesus' disciples hate what revolves around them.

No one coerced Jesus to bear the cross on our behalf.

Beware of your tongue.

There are only two alternatives—either Jesus is not good because he is not God, or he is good and likewise he is God.

We were lowly in our sin; he became lowly to wash away that sin. He shall return in glory as our great God; we shall reflect that glory as those belonging to him.

Do you struggle with fear in evangelism? God's cure will surprise you.

Philippians 1:12-14

What is the purpose of prayer? Why ought we to ask God for things? One answer is that prayer is meant to prove me.

Take joy, O kings, in trembling before God by turning to his Son for refuge.

notes

Main point summary

Your covetousness causes in-fighting and this is enmity toward God. Yet, God gives grace to the humble. Therefore humble yourself before him.

NT

James 4:1-10

esv

What causes quarrels and what causes fights among you?

Is it not this, that your passions are at war within you?

You desire

and do not have,

series

so you murder.

actionresult

You covet

and cannot obtain,

so you fight and quarrel.

actionpurpose

progression

questionanswer

You adulterous people!

Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God?

Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world

makes himself an enemy of God.

inference

Or do you suppose it is to no purpose that the Scripture says,

“He yearns jealously over the spirit that he has made to dwell in us”?

But he gives more grace.

Therefore it says,

“God opposes the proud,

but gives grace to the humble.”

negativepositive

situationresponse

Submit yourselves therefore to God. [in order to receive grace]

Resist the devil,

and he will flee from you.

Draw near to God,

and he will draw near to you.

Cleanse your hands, you sinners,

and purify your hearts, you double- minded.

Be wretched and mourn and weep.

Let your laughter be turned to mourning

and your joy to gloom.

Humble yourselves before the Lord,

and he will exalt you.

Mildred Queenie CS

Brother, can you help me in how to do v.7-10..I'm confused with the verbs "submit, draw near, cleanse, purify, be wrethed, and humble"...how do we recognize that one of it is the idea, then one is the action, and one is the manner? It is so hard since not of them is a participle. Please help me understand.

Chris Thomas

As always, clear, direct, and insightful. Thanks Andy for encouraging me through your work in the text.
