If someone were to describe you would the love of God be among the first words out of their mouth? As Christians we should be known as loving people. It should characterize our lives because love is found in our Savior! Today on a Daily Walk we'll pause to consider the greatest love of all, demonstrated by God.

Our focus today turns to the soon coming of our Lord, and what we should be doing in the meantime! It would be easy for us to complain about what's going on around us. We wonder at times, when will this ever end. But today we'll see the real need for patience, much like a farmer. Keeping our eyes on Jesus, will help us navigate through trouble or turmoil on earth.

It's not hard to see, many in our world have a love and thirst for wealth. They'll do just about anything under the sun to obtain it. But today we'll observe the real danger in that sort of living.In the passage before us James confronts those who were hoarding what they have, not paying their laborers for the work they did, and their indulgence. It would be a good time for us to look in the mirror and consider our relationship to what we've been given. We'll be held accountable by God for that.

Whether we've got a big decision to make, or need some direction, we all need God's wisdom in our daily walk! And the good news is, the Lord wants to give it to us. Today on a Daily Walk pastor John Randall contrasts the wisdom that comes from below with the one that comes from above.

Pastor John Randall is in the midst of leading us verse by verse through James. There's probably no muscle that is harder to control than the tongue. We've all experienced saying something that later we wished we hadn't - whether it be a curse word, or something that hurt another person a great deal. It's amazing how such a small part of the body can have such a large impact. No wonder James likens it to a fire! Let's see now how God wants to help us tame the tongue.

It's happened to us all. No sooner than something comes out of our mouths, we realize we shouldn't have said that. And damage is done. Today on A Daily Walk we return to our study of James and are reminded of the power of words. They have the power to motivate millions of people to hang tough in a difficult situation, and they have the ability to cut a person to ribbons. Pastor John Randall is our teacher, and here today he'll show us what James has to say on the subject of the unbridled tongue.

Remember back to when you were a kid, and your parents would discipline you!

In the Proverbs, we're told to trust in the Lord with all our heart and lean not on our own understanding.

Yet, so many of us kick against the goads! Today on a Daily Walk we visit Hebrews Eleven -- The Faith Chapter. Before we get into some demonstrations of faith, which will encourage us to walk faithfully with God, we want to observe an important description of faith.

As believers in Christ we should all desire a closer relationship with the Lord, and to grow spiritually. But sadly many of us can look back over the years and see that there's been little to no growth, or maybe we've even gone backwards. And quite often that can be traced back to no longer being in fellowship with other believers! The Lord knows we need each other, and that's a big reason why we need to make going to church a top priority in these last days. Today on a Daily Walk we return to John Randall's series from Hebrews. We're in chapter ten. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1368/29?v=20251111

We can benefit from the letter too, and receive God's encouragement and instruction for the difficult seasons of life. Today on a Daily Walk pastor John Randall speaks of a living hope.
