A category for distinguishing morning Bible study from all other posts.
Those Pesky Designations I believe the Bible is the inerrant word of God. It’s a real miracle that we still have, intact, with more proof texts than any other book around, this precious resource of foundation, direction, and wisdom, and truth. You can see that God has shepherded the text through hundreds of generations of …
“I’m spiritual, not religious” Oh, no. Not this one again! Bear with me, brothers. The old rag above has indeed returned. I promise some exposition of scripture to justify its use, but never its veracity. Today we move into ye olde debate, Faith vs Works. The foundation 23 for all have sinned and fall short of …
Won’t you be my neighbor? What does James teach us about how we are to treat our neighbor? What about when they annoy us, or do something downright wrong? What if we catch them in sin? Do we judge them? Can we judge them, please? Let’s find out what James has to say! Partiality My …
Recap The last few days I have been trying to get to James 1:22. But there was a ton of material to get through with the proceeding verses. Briefly, here’s the run-down. 19 Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; 20 for the anger of man …
Before you distract me again… Now listen up! This time I am going to cover the verses I meant to cover yesterday. That is to say, I will cover them, Lord willing! (Thank you, James!) Today is going to be about the other guy. Psalms 1 and James 1 both refer on one hand to …
What Therefore can tell us The book of James is straight forward. James was Jesus’ no-nonsense brother. But, in another sense, the book is like a maze. The lessons on the tongue are a solid example. You read a verse like James 1:26 and think, “Okay, I want my religion to be legit. Better work …
Only one post yesterday? Getting lazy already? Well, yesterday was busy. I still stuck to the parameters for the quest. We did a core workout and stretching. I read Joshua 9 and chapter 12 of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe with my boy. We attended Wednesday night Bible study. My wife and I …
Early Morning Update This morning’s study is about real religion. But, it is not only about that. We will get into church discipline as well as the new cultural infatuation with the “virtue” known as niceness. But, before all that, in case you want an update on the quest thus far: We had a great …
Good morning! Continuing our study of James today, covering the practical instructions laid down by the brother of our Lord Jesus Christ. This study led me places I never expected. It’s a refutation of the prosperity gospel. In it, I admit to my own folly in the past, when I used to say silly things …
Day 2 Early Morning Update I continued reading James this morning. Coffee was on me. Today was the first day getting up at 0400. I am aiming to wake up early on all weekdays for the next year, barring holidays. Although, I just might get a wild hare and wake early on some of those …
