Word of Faith San Francisco Podcast

James addresses the issues your tongue can create for you. The bible tells us in James chapter 3 that “no man can tame the tongue.” Then in chapter 4 it tells us to watch what we say. This almost seems to contradict itself. If I can’t tame my tongue then how can I watch what I say?! Thank God His word shows us the way and brings light. Don’t wait till the fight is at your door!

We continue with our study in the book of James. It is vital that every believer goes beyond rituals and displays motion. Everyone has their rituals. From the time you get up to the time you go to sleep, there are certain parts of your day that you perform certain tasks. In our “spiritual rituals” our life must go beyond merely reading or praying to doing and performing the word. Yes, we should have rituals but if the rituals don’t point to something greater then it all comes to nothing.

How do you determine the weightiness of how much something is loved? We will look at the scriptures to find out how the seemingly unrepairable gap between us and God was bridged.  Happy Resurrection Day, or as my Mom would say…Happy Independence Day!

Where there is motion, there is life. There is more to godliness than the acknowledgment of truth. It is the participation of it. Martin Luther once said, “You are saved by faith alone, but if faith is alone it is not faith.” We will take a look at the issues James, a leader of the Headquarter church in Jerusalem, had to address with the twelve tribes of Israel. His target audience were “religious” people who knew what to do but did not do, and even those who did not know were to prideful to ask for help.

Everyday we make choices, but sometimes our motivations for the actions we take are not a true reflection of God’s love. The bible tells us that love rejoices in the truth. Yes, love is more than just feelings; but, no love is not less than feelings. We will look at what the Apostle Paul considered as genuine love from the example the church of Macedonia gave us. Love is an overflow of our joy in God that gladly meets the needs of people.

Last week we looked into God’s word about finding our happiness in Him. This week we will discover what God’s word has to say about God’s delight and happiness. God’s chief end is to glorify Himself and enjoy Himself forever. Even though God is a self exalting God we will look at how his love for promoting and preserving His own glory comes full circle back to loving us.

God wants all of us to be happy, but not apart from Him. The Bible instructs us to delight ourselves in Him. Happiness and true joy are not separate from God. There is an old saying that tells us, “The chief end of man is to glorify God AND enjoy Him forever.” The emphasis is on the “AND”. These two things are not and should not be estranged from one another. We are supposed to seek and pursue happiness but only in God. It is not bad to desire our own good. In fact, the great problem of people everywhere today is that we are to easily pleased. The only way to triumph over sin long-term, is to gain a distaste for it because of a superior satisfaction in God.

Sometimes in life, we compare our lives to others and lose focus and frustrate ourselves. The devil would love for us to get off track and focused on things that do not matter in this life. We sometimes allow small and meaningless things to throw us off course and create an internal struggle. Yes, we will face adversity and trying times in life but when things come to test our beliefs we need to get refocused on what God wants.
