Rip The Roof Off! These friends that carry paralytic and then rip the roof off to get their friend to Jesus because they had heard of His miracles and healing. Was this the first intervention? Was the paralytic a parable for someone unable or unwilling to seek His face, His love and His mercy who needed friends and family to intervene to help bring him back from the brink? Not only does Jesus forgive his sins, which came first, but he healed his broken body and told him to arise…

Wisdom From Above James 3:17 NKJV 17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.
READ MOREWhom Am I Trying to Persuade?
Whom Am I Trying to Persuade? Looking back through time it’s easy to see what a disaster is left in the wake of ones life. When I look back and see the mountains of debris it is all to easy to see that I was attempting to please others, fit in or satisfy my broken, frail false ego. Don’t misunderstand the debris is still gathering, however, it seems to have slowed substantially. This begs the question, the same question that Paul ask… Galatians 1 CSB 10 For am I now…
READ MORECovering A Multitude of Sins
Covering A Multitude of Sins When we help another one find their to the Lord we honor Him. Our Father wants all His children to return from sin. As a person looking into the abyss and having a brother pull me back from the edge he only ask one thing from me – do the same for another and then do it again. That is what this website is all about. As we move into other phases the purpose of this site will become quite clear. James 5 NKJV 19…
READ MOREGrace to the Humble
Grace to the Humble I have spent most of the day going over these few passages and the more I read them the deep it takes me. As someone that is attempting to learn how to read and apply the Word it is passages such as these that create the most reflection. In the Gospels I meditate on the teachings of Jesus, but here James is challenging with question after question that open the door and forces me to look inside. While this is one of the shortest, if the…
READ MOREAn Unruly Evil
An Unruly Evil James 3 KJV This is why I am not a teacher, nor even a teachers aid. I am not worthy to carry the books for our Teacher. I am constantly reminded of how powerful the tongue is and the volume of destruction that can and will manifest in an instant when this tiny piece of flesh is allowed to go unchecked. 5 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth! 6 And the tongue…

READ MOREWe Must Be A Vessel For The Light
We Must Be A Vessel For The Light I love the fact that the Book of James repeats over and over faith without works is dead. If we aren’t living the Word we have nothing. James 1:22 KJV 22 But be doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.
READ MOREGuilty of All
Guilty of All In today’s world of many questions surrounding left, right, man, woman and everything in between this passage seems to ask me to pray a little harder, knock a little softer and seek a whole lot more. James 2 KJV 8 If ye fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, ye do well: 9 But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors. 10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend…
READ MOREFaith Without Works…
Faith Without Works… Book of James is one of my favorite books in the Bible. Short, to the point and does not mix words – just the way I like it! James 1 KJV 1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting. 2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; 3 Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience. 4 But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may…
