The document discusses the relationship between faith and deeds. It argues that faith without deeds is useless and dead. It provides several examples from scripture: Abraham was considered righteous because of his deeds in offering his son Isaac, and Rahab was considered righteous because of her deeds in helping the spies. True faith is demonstrated through actions that express love.

James 2: 14-26: Faith and Deeds
The document summarizes key passages from the book of James that address the relationship between faith and deeds. It notes that James emphasizes that faith without works is dead, using the examples of Abraham and Rahab to show that their faith was demonstrated and completed through their actions. In contrast, Paul states that one is justified by faith alone, apart from works of the law. The document discusses different perspectives on what is required for salvation between faith alone and the need for both faith and deeds.
James 6: Relationship between Faith & Works
The document discusses different views on the relationship between faith and works as it relates to salvation. It presents three views: the Arminian view which holds that saving faith requires good works or it is not true faith and can lead to loss of salvation; the Reformed view which argues that genuine faith inevitably produces good works and lack of works means lack of true faith; and a mediating view which allows for lack of connection between faith and works but sees lack of good works as lack of living faith that can lead to discipline but not loss of salvation.

The document provides biographical information about Paul, originally known as Saul. It describes that he was born in Tarsus and trained under Gamaliel in Jerusalem. It mentions that Saul took part in the stoning of Stephen and that he later had a conversion experience where he embraced Christianity and changed his name to Paul. The rest of the document focuses on Paul's missionary work, preaching of Jesus, theological focus on grace and faith, and his faithful service until his death.

16th September 2016 - Is Salvation by faith alone or Faith plus works?
Paul and James appear to disagree on whether salvation is by faith alone or faith plus works. However, when examining the full context and comparing passages, it becomes clear they are not contradicting each other. Paul emphasizes that justification is by faith alone, while James emphasizes that true faith will be evidenced by good works. James is refuting the idea that one can claim faith without deeds, arguing dead faith is like a body without a spirit. Both teach that while salvation is through faith, genuine faith in Christ will be demonstrated through good works in one's life.
How_Then_Shall_We_Live_Part_3_As_A_Witness
The document contains multiple Bible passages and commentary about being witnesses for Christ. Colossians 4:2-4 encourages believers to devote themselves to prayer, being watchful and thankful, and to pray for boldness in proclaiming the message of Christ. Colossians 4:5-6 instructs believers to act wisely toward outsiders, making the most of opportunities, and to let conversations be full of grace and wisdom. The commentary discusses meeting unbelievers where they are, cultivating one's own relationship with Jesus so His difference is seen in our lives, and acting wisely in witnessing to outsiders.

The document discusses two main topics:
1) Ways of heralding the good news of God, including praying for courage, being bold and persistent, telling everyone you meet, reading the Bible, and finding creative ways to spread the word.
2) Heresies that have emerged against the Catholic Church and Pope Francis, including claims that he supports homosexuality, gay marriage, and allowing priests to leave the priesthood if they fall in love. The document refutes these as false teachings not aligned with Catholic doctrine.

JAMES 8 -JESUS WORKS YOUR WORKS - PTR JOVEN SORO - 630PM EVENING SERVICE
This document is a summary of James 2:14-26 from the Bible. It discusses three types of faith: dead faith, which is mere words without actions; demonic faith, which believes in God but lacks transformation; and dynamic faith, which is demonstrated through obedience and good works. Dynamic faith is illustrated through the examples of Abraham offering Isaac and Rahab protecting the messengers, showing that true faith is proven through works and not just words alone.
Sharing Your Personal Testimony
A training session on how to share your Christian testimony by Evangelist Darrel Davis of Foundation Ministries. www.onlyfoundation.org.
Core2 unit1
Jesus asks his disciples who people say he is and who they say he is. When Peter responds that Jesus is the Messiah, Jesus affirms this but tells them to tell no one. C.S. Lewis argues that Jesus could not have merely been a great moral teacher, but must have been who he claimed to be - the Son of God. Faith is a gift from God that allows us to believe in him, so we should use our reason to understand our faith more deeply.
Praying in the New Year part 1 (Understanding What We Have)
Paul prays that the Ephesians would grow in their knowledge and understanding of God through the Spirit's wisdom and revelation. He asks God to enlighten their hearts so they comprehend the hope of their calling, the riches of God's inheritance in the saints, and His immense power available to believers. Christ has been exalted above all rule and authority and been appointed head of the church, which is His body through which He fills all things. Paul wants the Ephesians to understand better all that God has given them in Christ so they can live in the fullness and power of their blessings.
Testimony
For members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This slide basically teaches what is a testimony of the gospel.
05. How Do I Share My Testimony

2. It provides guidance on sharing one's testimony, including why it's important and examples from the Bible. Common barriers to sharing are also addressed.
3. Detailed outlines are given for constructing an effective personal testimony, with sections on life before and after faith in Jesus and how one came to believe. Guidelines emphasize glorifying God and focusing on Jesus.
Paul's One Thing
The document contains passages from Philippians 3 discussing Paul's view that knowing Christ is more important than legalistic righteousness or confidence in the flesh. He considers his previous accomplishments as rubbish compared to knowing Christ. Paul's goal is to know Christ through sharing in his sufferings and resurrection in order to attain resurrection from the dead. The document encourages focusing on relational intimacy with Christ over religious practices and removing hindrances to spiritual growth like old ways of thinking.
James 2 faith without works
This document discusses the relationship between faith and works. It argues that faith without works is dead. It uses the examples of Abraham offering Isaac and Rahab hiding the spies to show that their faith was demonstrated through their actions. True faith will necessarily be accompanied by works as evidence of that faith. A person who claims to have faith but does nothing to help those in need is not showing genuine faith. One's faith should compel them to visible intercession and action on behalf of others.
Appointments with God part 9 (Feast of Firstfruits)
Paul argues that if Christ has not been raised from the dead, then Christian faith is meaningless. He says that preaching about Christ would be useless and faith in Christ would be in vain. Paul emphasizes that Christ was indeed raised as the firstfruits of those who belong to him, implying that all believers will be resurrected. He teaches that through the resurrection of Christ, believers can have assurance of salvation and victory over death.
REAL Growth Slides, 2/17/13
This document discusses maturity in Christianity. It states that a mature Christian is not the person who knows the most, but the person who obeys the truths they know. The goal is not more education but application of what is known. Growth can stall if one does not exercise spiritually through practices like prayer, fellowship, and engaging with Scripture. Growth also stalls if one is envious or jealous, or if they live according to worldly ways rather than godly ways.

Praying in the New Year part 4 (Staying the Course)
The document contains passages from Colossians 1:9-14 about praying for spiritual wisdom and understanding from God so that one may live a life worthy of God and please him. It emphasizes growing in knowledge of God, being strengthened, bearing fruit, and giving thanks. The commentary notes that staying spiritually committed requires growing knowledge of God's will rather than remaining stagnant. It encourages positioning oneself to receive God's wisdom and focusing on making good choices each day through perseverance.
Romans 5 3 4 outine 02 06 11
The document discusses Charles Spurgeon, a 19th century Baptist preacher, and his views on preaching. It notes that Spurgeon believed preachers were beginning to compromise truth and doctrine by shortening sermons and focusing more on entertainment. This took a toll on Spurgeon and contributed to his early death. The document then criticizes modern preachers for prioritizing keeping congregations comfortable over delivering biblical truth and doctrine in their sermons.
PURPOSE OF MAN
The document discusses the purpose of man according to Christian theology. It makes three key points:
1) God alone determines man's purpose since He created man. The Bible indicates man's purpose is to have fellowship with God.
2) Man can know God's purpose by investigating the Bible and teachings of the Church, which state that every person is created to know and love God.
3) For man to attain union with God, he must be united with the Church, which is the mystical body of Christ on earth since Christ remains present in the Church through the Holy Spirit. Baptism grafts one onto the Church and Christ.
Understanding the Holy Spirit Part 1
You have to believe. We are capable of believing because everybody believes in something. You either believe you are pretty, your forehead is big, you believe your tall, you believe many things about you. When you believe your real height, then you can stop acting like your tall. Because you are functioning in the wrong height, it brought the wrong things to you. You were handling stuff bigger than you.
What To Do When Faith Doesnt Work
This document summarizes the key points made in James 2:14-26 about faith and works. It states that verbal faith alone cannot save, as faith without works is dead. It uses the examples of Abraham and Rahab to show how they were considered righteous not just due to their faith, but because of their actions that demonstrated that faith. While salvation is by faith alone, true faith does not remain alone but is shown through deeds.

This document is a Bible study on James 2:14-26 about faith and works. It provides commentary on key verses and examples. The main points are:
1) James asks what good is faith without works, using Abraham and Rahab as examples of faith completed through works.

Sermon 10 in a series on James (this one is on James 2:14-26) presented February 7, 2010, at Palm Desert Church of Christ by Dale Wells
James work
This passage from James discusses the relationship between faith and works. It argues that faith without works is dead, using several biblical examples to show how people were justified by their works, not just their faith alone. Abraham offering Isaac, Rahab hiding the spies, and their faith being "completed" or "perfected" by their works. True faith is demonstrated through works of obedience to God. The document also discusses different types of "work" mentioned in the Bible - the work of God in creation and salvation, the work of man in obedience and provision, and religious works which can become sinful if they replace God's grace.

JAMES 8 - JESUS WORKS YOUR WORKS - PTR VETTY GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICEFaithworks Christian Church
This document discusses three categories of faith: dead faith, demonic faith, and dynamic faith. Dead faith is described as professing faith without practicing it through good works. Demonic faith knows about God but does not love or obey Him. Dynamic faith trusts in Jesus and produces good works as a result of that trust. The document seeks to reconcile statements by Paul and James on faith and works, explaining they emphasize different aspects of salvation but do not contradict. It concludes by encouraging readers to start trusting in Jesus so His life and works can flow through them.Not fair
This document discusses the concept of fairness from a biblical perspective. It summarizes several passages from Ezekiel and other books of the Bible. The main points are:
1. God asserts that his ways are fair, while humanity often claims God's ways are not fair when bad things happen.
2. Whether God's judgments and outcomes are fair depends on how each individual lives according to God's standards of righteousness. Those who obey God will be treated fairly, while those who disobey will face consequences.
3. Each person will be judged and rewarded (or punished) according to their own actions and use of the gifts, knowledge, and faith that God has given them. God's standard of fairness is based

Jesus tells three different people who want to follow him that discipleship requires putting serving God above all other priorities and attachments. When one man says he will follow after saying goodbye to his family, Jesus responds that those who look back after putting their hand to the plow are unfit for service in God's kingdom. Another wants to bury his father first, but Jesus says followers should focus on proclaiming God's kingdom above other responsibilities. True discipleship demands putting serving God above all else.
11-04-18, James 2;14-26, With Works
This document provides a summary and commentary on James 2:14-26 from the Bible Exposition Commentary series. It examines the relationship between faith and works, outlining three types of faith mentioned: dead faith involving just the intellect; demonic faith involving the intellect and emotions; and dynamic faith involving the whole person through the mind, emotions, and will, leading to obedience and good works. It uses the examples of Abraham and Rahab to illustrate dynamic faith justified by works, not just words. The overall message is that true saving faith is demonstrated through righteous obedience and actions, not just empty words or feelings.
ACE Presentation James 2:14-26
This document summarizes a Bible study on James 2:14-26 about faith and works. It discusses that faith without works is dead, and uses examples from Abraham and Rahab to show how their faith was perfected and justified through their works. It also references how Jesus modeled works through his preaching, teaching, and acts of compassion. The overall message is that works glorify God and strengthen our relationship with him by perfecting our faith.
Four Types of Faith
The document discusses different types of faith according to the book of James: 1) Genuine saving faith produces good works but works do not save, 2) Living faith bears fruitful works that advance God's kingdom, 3) Demonic faith is an intellectual belief like demons have, 4) Useless faith does not produce works, 5) True faith like Abraham's is justified by works, and 6) Dead faith is without works. The overall message is that genuine Christian faith is demonstrated through righteous actions, not just words.
Peacekeepers chapter 2
The document provides scripture passages about redirecting one's life according to God's will. It discusses areas that may need pruning or positive influences. It encourages maintaining faith and a spirit-filled attitude, even when facing difficult situations, and focusing on obeying God rather than exalting oneself.

Developing A Dynamic Faith James 2:14-26 Adapted from a Tim Bond sermon http://www.sermoncentral.com/sermons/developing-a-dynamic-faith-tim-bond-sermon-on-faith-49446.asp
Relationship between Faith and Works (2of2)
The document discusses the relationship between faith and works based on passages from the books of James and Romans. It argues that works are the animating principle of vital faith and that faith without works is dead. Good works justify our faith before God and men and show our friendship with God. While salvation comes by grace through faith alone, an absence of good works implies an absence of saving faith. The challenge is to maintain a dynamic faith through obedience to God's word.

Belonging week 3
The document discusses the concept of belonging within the context of Pacific Church (PCI). It states that as Christians, we belong to God and to one another as part of the body of Christ. Each person has an important role to play and matters greatly. The document then examines what kind of church PCI wants to be by focusing on spiritual theology, formation, community and mission based on passages from Acts and Luke that describe the early church. It concludes by discussing the parable of the prodigal son to illustrate the importance of celebration and belonging.
11-04-18, James 2;14-26, With Works
This document provides a summary and commentary on James 2:14-26 from the Bible. It discusses three types of faith: dead faith which is intellectual but does not result in works; demonic faith which involves intellect and emotions but not works; and dynamic faith which involves the entire person and results in obedience and good works. It uses the examples of Abraham and Rahab to illustrate dynamic faith, noting that both showed their justifying faith through their works of obedience to God. The commentary emphasizes that true saving faith necessarily results in good works.
The A B-C of Boy-Girl Relationships
This document provides biblical guidelines for good relationships between boys and girls. It encourages accepting God's attitudes and viewpoints, believing in God's plan and high ideals, and committing one's future to God. It discusses developing wise patterns of living and character by controlling thoughts, relating properly to others, and setting limits in dating. The overall message is that God's commands regarding sex, words, and thoughts are meant to protect relationships and bring fulfillment, not restrictiveness.

A Costly Interruption: The Sermon On the Mount, pt. 2 - Blessed
Rewind, pt. 2: Mercy AND Justice - This Is Who We Are
The document is a collection of prayers, quotes, and announcements for a church service on the third Sunday of Easter. It includes an opening prayer asking God to help recognize Christ in the breaking of bread. It also contains a quote emphasizing the need to transform societal structures to prevent injustice rather than just helping individuals, and announces an action assembly to ask county officials to support workforce development and housing plans.
Rewind, pt.2 - Ep.1 - The Hope of Resurrection
The document contains prayers, financial updates, and reflections on the resurrection. It discusses how resurrection hope is about meaningful existence in God's restored kingdom, not a disembodied afterlife. Jesus' resurrected body was both physical yet different. Revelation and Genesis passages describe the eternal city as having God and the Lamb as light and the tree of life. The biblical narrative moves towards renewing creation, not removal to heaven.
Flyover - Part 5: The Gospel of John, pt. II
The document contains various passages related to Easter, including an opening prayer, thoughts on the resurrection, summaries of the Gospel stories, information on why the Gospels were written, and details from the book of John. It discusses how resurrection hope is about meaningful existence in God's kingdom, not disembodied existence in heaven. It also contains analysis of key aspects of John's Gospel, such as the seven signs and seven titles of Jesus.
Flyover: Part 4 - The Gospel of John, pt.I
This document provides context and analysis of the Gospel of John compared to the Synoptic Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke. It notes that John is unique in its content, including different miracles performed by Jesus. The document also examines key themes and "I am" statements in John, as well as the 7 signs and how John portrays the passion and death of Jesus as something he actively undertakes rather than passively endures.
Flyover: Part 3 - St. Patrick's Day & The Gospel of Luke
The document provides context and summaries for studying the Gospel of Luke and Acts of the Apostles. It discusses key themes such as redemption, salvation, and the Holy Spirit. It highlights sections uniquely included in Luke like genealogies and stories. Central to both texts is the idea of the "Great Reversal", where Jesus uplifts the poor, oppressed, outcasts and ministers to their needs in contrast to social norms. Prejudices against various groups are noted. The document aims to help readers understand the intended purposes and audiences of the texts.
Flyover: Part 2 - Review & The Gospel of Matthew
The document contains an opening prayer asking God to soften hearts with love so that people may know Jesus alive within them. It then discusses the Synoptic Gospels and the Oxford Hypothesis which proposes that the Gospels of Matthew and Luke used the Gospel of Mark and a hypothetical lost source called Q as sources for some of their content. The document provides context for studying the Bible by asking questions about authorship, audience, culture, history, purpose and intended meaning. It highlights some key themes in the Gospel of Matthew such as Jesus being the Jewish Messiah who completes God's plan of salvation for all people.
Flyover: Part 1 - Introduction & the Gospel of Mark
This document contains the schedule for a church's sermon series on the Gospels over the Lenten season. It begins with an opening prayer focused on God's mercy and drawing people to embrace Jesus. The summary then lists the dates and Gospels that will be covered in the sermon series, concluding each Sunday from February 25th through Easter on March 31st. It ends with a closing prayer praising God.
Sermon on the Mount: Part 1 - A Series Introduction
This document provides an overview and analysis of the Sermon on the Mount from the Gospel of Matthew. It discusses how Jesus taught the crowds that followed him, proclaiming the good news of God's kingdom. The Sermon on the Mount outlines Jesus' moral vision and ethic, presenting his message and actions. It calls disciples to seriously learn and live according to Jesus' radical teachings of love and forgiveness. The sermon crystallizes the new kingdom lifestyle Jesus gave his followers.
Rewind: Part 5 - Jesus In the Desert & Biblical Fasting
This document contains a sermon about fasting. It discusses Jesus fasting for 40 days in the wilderness and being tempted by Satan. It defines fasting as a full-bodied response to grievous or sacred moments in life. Examples of moments that could prompt fasting include sin, death, disaster, or suffering of others. The document outlines dangers of fasting like using it for self-righteousness or extremism, but also potential spiritual benefits like creating space for God or stirring empathy. It invites readers to consider fasting during Lent in response to current issues like war or lack of healthcare, as a form of "soul training."
Rewind: Part 4 - America, Paul, and "the gospel"
This document contains a collection of prayers, scripture passages, and teachings about defining the gospel. It discusses how the gospel is presented in the New Testament compared to modern formulations, and argues for understanding it as the story of God's kingdom through Jesus rather than just a formula for individual salvation. It encourages moving from an individual "salvation culture" to a community focused on justice, healing, and sharing God's love for all people through faithful discipleship.
Rewind: Part 3 - Learning to Love Those We Disagree With
This document contains a prayer praising God for revealing God's word and joyful promises through Jesus. It asks God to fill all of creation with this word again so that by proclaiming God's message to all nations, people of all backgrounds can become one united body reflecting God's presence on Earth. The rest of the document discusses the importance of unity among Christians and treating all people with dignity regardless of differences. It provides perspectives from religious figures such as Paul, Augustine, and John Wesley emphasizing the need for unity in essential beliefs and liberty in non-essential beliefs.
Sermon on the Mount: Part 1 - Message Title
1) The document contains the text of a church service including opening and closing prayers, songs, readings, and liturgy.
2) It includes prayers addressing God, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit, as well as readings from Psalms and the Beatitudes.
3) The service closes with final prayers and blessings asking God for mercy, guidance, and protection.
Rewind: Part 2 - Mark 1, Matt 20, Jesus and John Wayne
This prayer thanks God for creating the vast universe and for knowing and loving humanity despite our smallness in comparison. It expresses awe at both the beauty and power seen in creation, as well as amazement that God still cares for each person. The prayer conveys gratitude for all aspects of the created world, both great and small, visible and invisible, and for God's pervasive presence throughout.
Rewind: Part 1 - John 1, Nathanial, and Dr. MLK Jr.
This document contains a prayer praising God for loving and sustaining humanity. It then summarizes passages from the Gospel of John about Jesus calling his first disciples, including Andrew and Peter. Jesus invites Philip and Nathanael to follow him after Philip proclaims that they have found the Messiah. When Jesus sees Nathanael coming towards him, he affirms that Nathanael is truly an Israelite without deceit.
Advent (2023) - Week 3: Joy In the Midst of Grief
The document contains several Bible verses and song lyrics that express feelings of doubt, despair and a cry for help. It includes passages from Psalms 130:1-2 and 42:3-4 where the writer calls out to God from a place of despair. It also includes the lyrics of a song called "Jesus I Have My Doubts" where the singer questions whether God can hear them in their silence and pain. The document ends with hopeful Bible verses promising that God will calm fears and bring joy, as well as a prayer asking God to fill hearts with joy at the news of salvation through Christ.

Astronism, Cosmism and Cosmodeism: the space religions espousing the doctrine...
This lecture created by Brandon Taylorian (aka Cometan) specially for the CESNUR Conference held Bordeaux in June 2024 provides a brief introduction to the legacy of religious and philosophical thought that Astronism emerges from, namely the discourse on transcension started assuredly by the Cosmists in Russia in the mid-to-late nineteenth century and then carried on and developed by Mordecai Nessyahu in Cosmodeism in the twentieth century. Cometan also then provides some detail on his story in founding Astronism in the early twenty-first century from 2013 along with details on the central Astronist doctrine of transcension. Finally, the lecture concludes with some contributions made by space religions and space philosophy and their influences on various cultural facets in art, literature and film.

Lição 12: João 15 a 17 – O Espírito Santo e a Oração Sacerdotal | 2° Trimestr...
Esta lição é uma oportunidade para discutirmos um assunto multo mal interpretado no contexto cristão, que é o fato de algumas pessoas pensarem que o conhecer Jesus é ter a nossa vida mudada em todas as áreas, como se Deus tivesse o dever de transportar-nos deste mundo para um outro mundo onde muitas coisas maravilhosas que desejamos seriam reais. No entanto, a nossa fé não nos tira do mundo após nos convertermos; ao invés disso, permanecemos vivendo sob as mesmas circunstâncias. O propósito de Deus não é nos tirar do mundo, mas nos livrar das ações do maligno (Jo 17.15), Sendo assim, a vida eterna não significa estar fora da realidade deste mundo, mas conhecer o único Deus verdadeiro (Jo 17.3).

Is Lucid Dreaming Dangerous? Risks and Benefits!
Lucid Dreaming: Understanding the Risks and Benefits
The ability to control one's dreams or for the dreamer to be aware that he or she is dreaming. This process, called lucid dreaming, has some potential risks as well as many fascinating benefits. However, many people are hesitant to try it initially for fear of the potential dangers. This article aims to clarify these concerns by exploring both the risks and benefits of lucid dreaming.
The Benefits of Lucid Dreaming
Lucid dreaming allows a person to take control of their dream world, helping them overcome their fears and eliminate nightmares. This technique is particularly useful for mental health. By taking control of their dreams, individuals can face challenging scenarios in a controlled environment, which can help reduce anxiety and increase self-confidence.
Addressing Common Concerns
Physical Harm in Dreams Lucid dreaming is fundamentally safe. In a lucid dream, everything is a creation of your mind. Therefore, nothing in the dream can physically harm you. Despite the vividness and realness of the dream experience, it remains entirely within your mental landscape, posing no physical danger.
Mental Health Risks Concerns about developing PTSD or other mental illnesses from lucid dreaming are unfounded. As soon as you wake up, it's clear that the events experienced in the dream were not real. On the contrary, lucid dreaming is often seen as a therapeutic tool for conditions like PTSD, as it allows individuals to reframe and manage their thoughts.
Potential Risks of Lucid Dreaming
While generally safe, lucid dreaming does come with a few risks as well:
Mixing Dream Memories with Reality Long-term lucid dreamers might occasionally confuse dream memories with real ones, creating false memories. This issue is rare and preventable by maintaining a dream journal and avoiding lucid dreaming about real-life people or places too frequently.
Escapism Using lucid dreaming to escape reality can be problematic if it interferes with your daily life. While it is sometimes beneficial to escape and relieve the stress of reality, relying on lucid dreaming for happiness can hinder personal growth and productivity.
Feeling Tired After Lucid Dreaming Some people report feeling tired after lucid dreaming. This tiredness is not due to the dreams themselves but often results from not getting enough sleep or using techniques that disrupt sleep patterns. Taking breaks and ensuring adequate sleep can prevent this.
Mental Exhaustion Lucid dreaming can be mentally taxing if practiced excessively without breaks. It’s important to balance lucid dreaming with regular sleep to avoid mental fatigue.
Lucid dreaming is safe and beneficial if done with caution. It has many benefits, such as overcoming fear and improving mental health, and minimal risks. There are many resources and tutorials available for those interested in trying it.

- 2. What good is it, my brothers & sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes & daily food. If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm & well fed,” but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead. JAMES 2:14-26
- 3. But someone will say, “You have faith; I have deeds.” Show me your faith without deeds, & I will show you my faith by my deeds. You believe that there is one God. Good! Even the demons believe that—& shudder. You foolish person, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless? JAMES 2:14-26
- 4. Was not our father Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar? You see that his faith & his actions were working together, & his faith was made complete by what he did. And the scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, & it was credited to him as righteousness,” & he was called God’s friend. JAMES 2:14-26
- 5. You see that a person is considered righteous by what they do & not by faith alone. In the same way, was not even Rahab the prostitute considered righteous for what she did when she gave lodging to the spies & sent them off in a different direction? As the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead. JAMES 2:14-26
- 7. ISAIAH 58:6-7 Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice & untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free & break every yoke? Is it not to share your food with the hungry & to provide the poor wanderer with shelter— when you see the naked, to clothe them, & not to turn away from your own flesh & blood?
- 8. ISAIAH 58:9b - 10 If you do away with the yoke of oppression, with the pointing finger & malicious talk, & if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry & satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, & your night will become like the noonday.
- 9. ROMANS 2:6* God “will repay each person according to what they have done.” *NOTE: Psalm 62:12; Proverbs 24:12
- 10. GALATIANS 2:6 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor un-circumcision has any value. The only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love.
- 11. MATTHEW 25:42-43 For I was hungry & you gave Me nothing to eat, I was thirsty & you gave Me nothing to drink, I was a stranger & you did not invite Me in, I needed clothes & you did not clothe Me, I was sick & in prison & you did not look after Me.
- 12. MATTHEW 7:21 Not everyone who says to me, “Lord, Lord,” will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of My Father who is in heaven.
- 14. Mark 1:15
- 15. What is God Saying to me? What am I going to do about it?
- 17. Use the learning circle to process & come to one specific action point on any “kairos” question” you’re facing right now, big or small… SOUL TRAINING EXERCISE
- 19. THE QUESTION OF THE DAY DO I REALLY HAVE FAITH… DO I REALLY BELIEVE… IF I’M NOT WILLING TO ACT ON IT?
