May I say that Heavenly Wisdom enables us not to assert ourselves but to do God’s will in His Way (1 Co 13; Jn 14:6).
Yes doing things always and everywhere by the Holy Spirit sincerely, fairly, and in agape love.Just as our Lord Jesus Christ did and does (Ac 10:38. Without hypocrisy.
Thanks Grant it is nourishing and delightful, learning with you the Word of God.

DIVISIONS
indeed this weapon of the Devil has been doing damage to the Church through people who use earthly wisdom
It is high time the Church of Christ takes a stand. Yes, there must be universal allegiance to Christ in order to thwart every single hostile plan of the devil.
Gog bless you Grant. I am you brother in His grace. Keep it up.

This was a great explanation of what James meant when he wrote this and how it relates to the truth of believers being justified by faith.

Comment on Philippians 4:19 by Ricky Lewis

Amen!!! Darren… I always compare my relationship with God to my relationship with my own kids. If I tell my daughter I will do something if she does something and then don’t keep my word then where’s the love and honor in that. That would mean that I’ve not only lied to her but also Im teaching her not to trust me and I would never do that to my child! (God willing by his grace)… and God can never lie, He is love, and my love(which comes from Him) compared to God’s agape love doesn’t compare! His word says in Mal 3 “Test me and see if I will not open up the windows of heaven to pour you out a blessing that u cannot contain!” Prov 3 “Honor the Lord with firstfruits of thy wealth and he will keep thy vats full!” Luke 6:38 “Give and it shall be given unto you good measure, press down, shaken together, running over shall men give unto your bosom. The amount you give will determine the amount you recieve!” Galatians 3:29 If ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise! (Gen 12:2-3, Gen 13:2, Gen 13:15-17, Gen 15:2, Deut 28 1-14) and of course 3 John 2:2 “Beloved, I wish that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth”! So its very clear that God desires believer’s to have great wealth but we must first have him! He doesnt wanna just meet our needs! He’s our Father in Heaven, What father doesn’t want to give good gifts to his child? Gifts are passed needs in most cases and to close this reply, Mark 11:24 says “Therfore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye recieve them, and ye shall have them.”!

Comment on 1 Thessalonians 4:11 by Grant

Tyler, this passage says nothing about missions or evangelism. The problem was that the Thessalonians did not get employment because they thought the rapture was going to happen in very short order. Therefore, they were sitting around criticizing one another. Paul chastises them for this thinking. The “quiet life” has to do with a life that free from strife with others.
