As we take a look at James 3, we see that this small part of the body can steer us in a certain direction, spread like crazy, strengthen someone or shatter them. How do we begin to tame this powerful tool? Here are some ideas to start with!

Jesus is beautifully pictured here as God's Servant who came to set the captives - i.e. you and me - free. Free from sin, prejudice and legalism.

God's greatness can be compared to a grammar lesson: - He is a noun: The Holy One of Israel - He is a ?be? verb: I AM - He is an action verb: He created, formed, redeemed and summoned - He is an adjective: gracious, compassionate, righteous All these traits point us to the majesty of a Holy God who loves us. So the question is: How do we respond?

In this passage, we see nation after nation judged for their failure to heed God's warnings and for opposition and rebellion against God. We encounter one of the great themes in both the book of Isaiah and the Bible: resistance and rebellion against God result in judgment. But within the prophecies and warnings are rays of hope. God is willing to save those who will repent and turn to Him. Throughout these prophecies, the Lord consistently offers the promise of salvation to all who truly turn to Him, repent of their sins, and live righteously.

Being a prophet in any day and age is tough. Some would even say it's a dirty job (but somebody's got to do it). As we look ahead to our spring study, we learn from the prophet Isaiah how to roll up our sleeves and get "dirty" - all for God's glory and our good.

The end is coming - both here in Daniel and for us all. Yet that in no way means we should lose heart. Instead, we learn today that the best is yet to come!

God offered Daniel a glimpse at the future ? a greater understanding of His plan for the nation of Israel and the Church. Today, God uses prophecy to prepare us for what is to come and God uses His people to accomplish His plan. But we have to unpack His Word and be in prayer before we can fully be used for His glory! In this episode we'll unpack the mystery of the "seventy sevens" and be ready.
