“And remember, when you are being tempted, do not say, ‘God is tempting me.’ God is never tempted to do wrong, and he never tempts anyone else. Temptation comes from our own desires, which entice us and drag us away.” (James 1:13–14 NLT) We all know what it’s like to be tempted. But where does temptation come from? It does not come from God. James 1:13–14 says, “And remember, when you are being tempted, do not say, ‘God is tempting me.’ God is never tempted to do wrong, and he never tempts anyone else. Temptation comes from our own desires, which entice us and drag us away” (NLT). We play a key role in our own temptation. It’s like the scorpion who wanted to cross a pond. Scorpions can’t swim, of course, so he needed a ride. He walked up to a rather unsuspecting turtle and said, “I was wondering if you might give me a lift across this little pond.” The turtle said, “Are you joking? You will sting me, and we’ll both drown.” The scorpion said, “My dear turtle, if I were to sting you, I would go down with you. Where would the logic be in that?” As they made their way across the little pond, however, the scorpion pulled out his stinger and gave the turtle a mighty sting. As they both sank to the bottom, the turtle turned to the scorpion and said, “There was no logic in stinging me. Why in the world did you do it?” The scorpion replied, “It has nothing to do with logic. It’s just my nature.” This is a good point for Christians to remember. When we give in to temptation, it has nothing to do with logic. It’s just our nature. We like to say, “The devil made me do it,” or “Circumstances overwhelmed me,” or “I couldn’t control myself.” But in reality, it’s just our sinful nature. Let’s be clear here. We don’t have to give in to our old nature. The only power it has over us is the power we give it. The apostle Paul wrote, “We know that our old sinful selves were crucified with Christ so that sin might lose its power in our lives. We are no longer slaves to sin. For when we died with Christ we were set free from the power of sin” (Romans 6:6–7 NLT). We have everything we need to resist our old nature. We can turn to God for help. We can find comfort, strength, wisdom, and encouragement in His Word. We can talk to other believers. If we ignore these resources, we give our old nature a foothold in our lives. God’s Word urges us to be strong and steadfast. To opt for something better when our old nature rears its head. As Paul wrote, “Rather, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not think about how to gratify the desires of the flesh” (Romans 13:14 NIV). Reflection question: How do you resist the pull of your old nature?

The Roots Of Spiritual Success James 1 – Session 5 November 9, 2025 Review James 1:19,20 – Wrath: aged anger; consuming anger; takes over motives, thoughts, actions Disrupts righteous anger: Vs. heart of Father; agenda of His Kingdom Desires hurt, destruction of people, evil agenda ★Have enemies; pray for those who oppose you (God will defend and promote you ultimately) ★Don't wait on an apology! Ephesians 4:26 James 1:21 – “Save Your Souls” Born again by life in Word of God; received, reinforced Soul – (psuche); can refer to both spirit and soul; or to our spiritual personality i.e., our mind, will, emotions Operation of our spirit, indwelled by the Holy Spirit; living room or control center, with other rooms, information sources. Sozo: to save, deliver, make whole, heal Addictions; memories; lusts; temperament; rejection; doubt/worry; fear; anxiety; bitterness; shame; etc. The Spirit, soul, body composition: 1 Thessalonians 5:23; Hebrews 4:12 Our Soul and body are “Under renovation”. The flesh and the enemy work to delay, even hijack the renovation. The “Spirit” vs. The “Flesh” ★Our spirit and soul are inseparable, but distinguishable Our body is the “home”, “clothes”, of our spirit-man. It gets information from the outside, (for example media, other people, even the devil, etc.) and from inside sources (such as our brain, mind, the Holy Spirit). Our soul is our spiritual personality. It can be under the influence, direction of the Spirit or the body/flesh and the enemy. The mind is a receiver and a processor of information from outside and inside (the flesh and the Spirit). The mind makes projections, forms opinions, and is subject to deception. It must be trained and disciplined by the Spirit of truth. (See John 16:13-15 and John 17:17) ★“Self-talk can be good or bad. If it is based on wrong information, it projects the wrong perspective, leading to the wrong beliefs, which yields wrong results!” Our spirit is “headquarters, home” for the Holy Spirit received through our new birth. Our spirit receives revelation, information, messages, promptings from the Lord. The Spirit's witness: (Romans 8:16 and John 16:13-15) (Philippians 2:13 – God at work in you) Covenant Heirs Church Birmingham Alabama

Dr. Brown Speaks out of James 1:22-25 in the NRSV version. Today's chapel frame is Heart Holiness.

Not every prayer reaches God's throne. Sometimes, our words rise but are weighed down by wrong motives, unbelief, or unrepentant hearts. In this episode, we uncover the kinds of prayers God chooses not to answer—and why His silence often calls us to self-examination, not discouragement. Discover how to align your heart so your prayers are not hindered but heard.

James 1:26-27 (NASB) 26 If anyone thinks himself to be religious, yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this person's religion is worthless. 27 Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world. Principles of True Christianity: I. Existence of worthless religion (1:26) II. Elements of worthwhile religion (1:26-27) 1) Control over Speech (1:26) 2) Care for the Needy (1:27) 3) Cleanliness from the World (1:27)

If you are interested in the Daily Bible Devotional, you can find it at the links below:Amazon - (paperback, hardcover, and Kindle)YouTube Video Introducing the ContentFeel free to reach out with any questions: emersonk78@me.comJames 1James encourages believers to find joy in various trials, knowing that testing produces perseverance and spiritual maturity. Wisdom is promised to those who ask God in faith without doubting. Readers are reminded that true wealth is found in spiritual endurance, not earthly riches. Temptation is described as something that does not come from God but from personal desires. Each person is drawn away by their own longings, which lead to sin and ultimately death. God, on the other hand, gives every good and perfect gift and does not change. Believers are called to be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger, especially when hearing God's word. True religion is demonstrated through obedience, care for the needy, and living a pure life that is unstained by the world. James begins with this proclamation: Our faith grows strongest amid challenges. When we face trials, we can see them as opportunities for growth rather than reasons to give up. God uses difficult moments to shape our patience and develop our character. We must seek wisdom and trust that God will provide it without hesitation. Temptation arises from within us, but God is here to help. It is easy to hear the word and move on, but we must live it out with intention. Along the way, our actions matter. We must care for others, especially those often overlooked. When we control our speech and pursue purity, we reflect the heart of God. He blesses those who walk in faith and obedience. Present God, You are close in every moment, even during our trials. Thank You for being constant when life feels uncertain. Give us hearts that trust You when we do not understand. Teach us to seek wisdom from You and to believe that You give generously. Help us not only to hear Your word but also to live it out with honesty and purpose. Shape our character through each challenge we face. Guard our words and purify our hearts so that our lives promote Your truth. Help us care for those in need and remain faithful in all we do.  Thought Questions: How is it possible to “consider it all joy” when you encounter trials? How important is prayer, and how confident must you be in God's help? Why do some blame God when they face temptation? How does it help you to know that temptation is not of God and is born within you? What helps you keep the word fresh on your mind throughout your day? How does the word live in you when you serve and treat others well?

Review: Tests, trials, temptations – Pressure and the power of resistance! The role of patience in faith's development. Driven by doubt or “all in” faith. Wisdom is available! Ask in faith. “Pursuing” …. What am I pursuing? (Focusing on, chasing, absorbed with) If riches, I will lose my opportunity to make a difference, leave a legacy! Riches (trusts in and pursues riches) 1 Timothy 6:17, 18 Money: Gift of Grace (Philippians 4:19); Tool to have, not lord to have you! Not to allow money or lack of it define us. Endurance: temptation is inevitable; endurance is invaluable (1 Corinthians 10:13) James 1:16 – ✸✸Deceived: moved away from Truth: deceiver Vehicles in our culture (Media; AI) James 1:17 – Our Father is the True Giver of everything Good and Perfect! And He does not Change! James 1:18 – The Word of Truth: Inseparable from Jesus! (John 1:4; John 6:63) John 8:31, 32 Hebrews 4:12 ✸✸The voice, information of the deceiver is often very convincing; looks and sounds right on the surface! (“spins” circumstances, wants; “twists” Scriptures to fit agenda)

Obedience leads to blessing, so we can blessedly obey God's Word right away, all the say.

James 1:21-25 (NASB) 21 Therefore, ridding yourselves of all filthiness and all that remains of wickedness, in humility receive the word implanted, which is able to save your souls. 22 But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not just hearers who deceive themselves. 23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror; 24 for once he has looked at himself and gone away, he has immediately forgotten what kind of person he was. 25 But one who has looked intently at the perfect law, the law of freedom, and has continued in it, not having become a forgetful hearer but an active doer, this person will be blessed in what he does. How Christians should respond to the Word of God: 1) Proactively get rid of your sin (1:21) 2) Humbly receive the Word (1:21) 3) Persistently do what God's Word says (1:22-25) 4) Wholly believe God's Promise to the obedient (1:25)

James 1:19-20 (NASB) 19 You know this, my beloved brothers and sisters. Now everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger; 20 for a man's anger does not bring about the righteousness of God. Theme: Growing in godly communication/speech is an integral part of every Christian's spiritual maturity. Three Keys to Godly Communication 1) Open your ears (1:19) 2) Control your tongue (1:19) 3) Control your emotions (1:19-20)

Pastor Dan's message from James 1:5–8 and Proverbs 8 emphasized that true wisdom begins with God Himself—the Creator who established the world by His understanding. He explained that biblical wisdom is not mere intelligence, but the ability to live righteously before God and others. God's wisdom enables believers to make sound decisions, lead their families well, and find favor with Him. Pastor Dan concluded by showing that Jesus is the ultimate expression of God's wisdom, the solid foundation on which every life must be built for both spiritual success and salvation.#CalvaryTilton #SundayMessage #WisdomOfGod #James1 #Proverbs8 #FaithInAction #JesusOurRock

The Value Of Testing In The Development Of Faith James 1 – Session 3 October 19, 2025 Review: Tests, trials, temptations: only know the true value of something when (and after) it is tested! True patience is a strong force of the Holy Spirit, that bears a strong inner witness that grants a confidence that God is at work in every circumstance and that He will sustain you and therefore, you will see His victory! “Let”, Allow patience …. Can't “work it up”. Patience is deposited in your reborn spirit. It must be accessed by faith and developed through obedience. (Galatians 5:22; 1 Corinthians 13:4) Godly patience involves persistent waiting (on relief, results desired), but it is undergirded with confident expectation that the Lord is “at hand” and is “at work”! (Philippians 4:5; Philippians 2:13) James 1:9 – “Glory in high position (A few examples!) Child of the Most High God (John 1:12) Heir of God, joint-heir with Christ (Romans 8:16, 17) Forgiven, made Holy, Righteous, Accepted, Beloved in Christ (Ephesians 1:3-7) Granted every spiritual blessing in Christ (Ephesians 1:3-7) Guaranteed eternal life (John 3:16) Given Grace in God's eyes and Favor for life's journey (Ephesians 2:8,9) Granted unconditional love (1 John 4:16-18) Guaranteed victory over death and every enemy (Romans 8:31-37) Granted an Intercessor in Heaven (Romans 8:34) James 1:10-11 “The rich …. “Humiliation” what it does NOT mean (See Timothy 6:17,18) Humble self: Recognize True Security, Identity (tool not source) James 1:12 The Blessing of enduring temptation The “Crown” implies that one has come through intense tests, trials, temptations James 1:13-15 The true source of temptation (We will NOT succeed in our own strength!

Be a doer of the word- What profit is God's word in our lives if we aren't living it out? James says rather than bearing the fruit of corruption from the world, we as believers should be living in the blessing that comes from being a doer of the word.
