Friday, September 18th, 2026 7:39 am Good morning! Today I am in James 4:11-12. James tells us here to not speak evil against each other. If we criticize and judge each other, then we are criticizing and judging God's law. He tells us that our job is to obey the law, not to judge whether it applies to us. For God alone is the one that gave us the law, and He is the Judge. He alone has the power to save or to destroy. So we have no right to judge. God does not want us

Thursday, September 17th, 2026 4:32 am Good morning! Today I am in James 4:1-10. James tells us that the quarreling and fighting we do, actually comes from evil desires that are at war inside each of us. When we want something we don't have, we will scheme and kill to get it.

James tells us that if we are wise and understand God's ways, we must prove it by living an honorable life, and doing good works with the humility that comes from wisdom.

Tuesday, September 15th, 2026 4:19 am Good morning! Today I am in James 3:1-12. James tells us that not everyone in the church should become teachers because those who teach will be judged more strictly. He tells us that we all make mistakes, and if we could control our tongues, we would be perfect and could control ourselves in every other way. He compares our tongues to a bit in a horse's mouth and to a rudder of a ship. Both controls which way the horse or the ship g

Monday, September 14th, 2026 4:15 am Good morning! Today I am in James 2:14-26. James asks us, "What good is it if we say we have faith but don't show it by our actions? Can that kind of faith save anyone?" Saying that if we see someone with our food or clothing, and we just tell them good-bye and have a good day, stay warm and eat well, but we don't give them any food or clothing, what good is that? So we can see from this example that faith by itself is not enough. U

He tells us that God has chosen the poor in this world to be rich in faith, for they are the ones that will inherit t

Saturday, September 12th, 2026 8:51 am Good morning! Today I am in James 1:19-27. James tells us that we must be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry. He tells us that our human anger does not produce the righteousness God desires. We must get rid of all the filth and evil in our lives, and humbly accept the word God has planted in our hearts, for it has the power to save our souls. We can't just listen to God's Word, we must do what it says. If we don
