Hello
James 5. When you open up this chapter It is very blunt. It is not saying wealth is bad, so pay attention to what it is saying. People in this time almost need a visual of what would happen if they were not wise with their money. It is pointed out that this group of people have not used their money for what they should have. Like paying their workers, or helping out others. They have used it on themselves. I like this next part of James Be patient and stand firm. Don't grumble against each other or you will be judge. What does that mean or you will be judged? vs. 13 pray if you are in trouble, are you happy? sing a song of praise, anyone sick ask your pastor, youth pastor,leaders, parents pray for you anoint your head with oil. Pray for those who use to go to church and walked away that they come back to God.
1Peter1 Praise to God for living hope. Peter is such a cool book. We have an inheritance in heaven, how cool is that. vs 8 we have not seen Jesus but we love him. It's hard to pick what I like most about this chapter. Tell me what you like about this chapter. 1Peter2. We are living stones and a chosen people, who was the first living stone? Why was Jesus called the living stone? vs 9 is my favorite people. We are chosen people, royal priesthood, a chosen nation. What sticks out to you? Living Godly lives in a pagan society. what does that mean? Do we live in a pagan society ? We are told even though we live in this type world we should not disobey those in charge even if they do not believe what we do. Do you think if we acted like brats that someone in charge weather it be at school, a police officer, or a parent that they would wonder what kind of God we serve. And why do we think its okay to act this way? Jesus was called all kinds of names and he never said one thing bad to them. By his wounds we are healed. For "you were like sheep going astray" but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls. Love the way this chapter ends.
Love all of you
