Putting it into Practice
In the past few posts, this series has addressed the importance God places on being quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to wrath, but how is all that to be accomplished? It all comes down to the grace of God.
Slow to Wrath
Not only are we to be quick to hear and slow to speak, glorifying God with our words means being careful to guard the heart from which they flow.
Slow to Speak
Sometimes what we don’t say is just as important as what we do say. God has a lot to say about our words, and being slow to speak is a significant part of glorifying God with our speech. (Part 2 of my James 1:19 series)
Swift to Hear
How good of a listener are you? This first installment of a series based in James 1:19 points out the value of listening, first to God, then to those He brings across our paths.
Abide in Me
Abiding in Christ can seem like something we’re meant to do later on, when are older or have more time. However, abiding in Christ is something for everyone, in every moment.
When Bad Gets Worse
Ever feel like the world is just getting worse and worse? The Bible tells us that this will happen as we move ever closer to the return of Christ. Thankfully, the Bible also tells us how we are to respond to the growing wickedness of the world around us.
A Place to Pray
Have you ever noticed that prayer tends to be easier when we make a habit of praying in a specific place?
The Result of Prayer
It’s easy to get caught up in our problems and forget to take them to the Lord. But when we neglect to take our requests to God, we miss out on more than just answers to prayer.
Quality to my Quantity
Time spent in God’s Word is crucial to the Christian life. But how do we keep ourselves from skimming through it mindlessly instead of taking time to actually think about what we are reading?
