Patiently Enduring

James is bringing things full circle now, coming back to the idea of undergoing trials. They are a part of life, but God can use them to teach us many things, including patience. It's hard to wait for things, especially when it's waiting to be rescued from the problems we're going through. We want to jump ahead, avoid difficulty. But, it's a divine appointment that we need to go through.

Two for one today

Well, it seems that I completely forgot to upload last week, so there are two links today for sermons! If I get any more forgetful, I'm gonna be in real trouble ;-)

How We Fight

It's hard not to get a bit upset sometimes when things don't go our way. But how many times have we examined why we get upset? James tells us that it's our own envious nature, our selfishness. We look to blame others, but we can only be responsible for our own actions and reactions. James tells us to humble ourselves and let God raise us up, which is pretty hard to do. Hopefully, though, we find that as we submit to God, we learn that He can solve the problems that vex us.
