TWO MOST POWERFUL PRINCIPLES OF LIFE!
Is it true that reality is only for those who can't cope with drugs?
ETERNAL STRUGGLE BETWEEN LIGHT AND DARKNESS...THE GREAT CONTROVERSY OF THE AGES.
The classic tension between faith and works is everywhere throughout the Scriptures and all around you in your life. How you balance this tension is vital to your spiritual walk!
Going through the book of James is a closer look at how the early followers of Jesus gathered, thought and interaction!
Two very simple and subtle elements of pure religion or pure faith!
James presents 4 elements of pure religion! (1) Prepare yourselves to receive the word of God's truth. (2) Prove yourselves to be doers of the word of God's truth.
God is on our side and not the cause of our problems. He doesn't even put us into a state of temptation.
This simple series of promises is the most practical and powerful nugget or super-vitamin you can take personally and share with others. This works whether in personal, quiet medication or in a small group setting of active interaction.
This is the 3rd dimension of your transitional focus! This time you are refocusing on your position before God. If you are poor, you refocus on your rich position before God. If you are rich, you must refocus on your personal poverty before God. This refocus is the great leveler!
Anyone who needs wisdom only needs to ask and God will give you all you need and more! And God will not criticize how you use the wisdom given.
Wisdom is yours for the asking. God will give you wisdom generously and will not criticize you for how you use it!
The Book of James is the Proverbs of the New Testament!

The 8 action-steps will create four awesome promises
The 8 action steps of II Peter 1 produce four primary promises for the believer of active faith. No passage can be found to compare with this one.
From LOVE to FAITH...the most harmonious symphony ever played or lived out into full lifestyle!
The symphony of action steps range from FAITH to LOVE! Not only are these 8 qualities the best and highest life focus, but these have a very present practice....daily and moment by moment.
I love this one to be added to your faith. Virtue was all about you standing on your own two feet. Brotherly love says, don't try to go it alone! Go with the power of the few!
After facing the overwhelming trials and troubles of life by your perseverance, the results will be amazing qualities of godliness that will naturally appear.
From time to time, I want to break away from whatever series I'm going through and send out a special message...a RADICAL PAUSE!
Once you think you are reaching a little self-control, this is the exact time you must beware that you may face something new and tougher! This can only be handled by the practice of PERSEVERANCE.
Self control is really self-strength, the full expression of your created self.
Beginning with faith or trust, you must add seven practices to it in order to live your life most fully. First, you must add virtue to your faith or trust. Virtue is standing on your own two feet. It's standing firm in practicing living out your faith. THEN, you enter into learning more, not more data, but learning more by personal experience...experiential knowledge.
The first practice is foundational and the next 7 practices are to be added to this one. When complete, the 8 practices make up a wonderful symphony!
The list of 8 practices unfolds as a symphony of fullness of life. The foundational practice was faith...all other 7 practices or qualities were to be added to one's faith.
Vision, mission, objectives, and four strategic steps can now be set into motion through life-changing action steps! These 8 life-changing action steps are the most promising ever listed in the Scriptures!
We share the same vision, mission, and objectives with one another. Jesus unites and all else divides. However, when we attempt to move on, we are moving in what I call strategic steps that are unique to you! There are four strategic steps that we must all make to be most effective. They are: SEE Jesus, FOLLOW Jesus, GATHER with Jesus' followers, and GO with Jesus to spread the Good News message of the Kingdom.
SEE JESUS! FOLLOW JESUS! GATHER WITH OTHER FOLLOWERS OF JESUS...THE POWER OF THE FEW!
