Worthless Religion!

                                                                Worthless Religion!

 

The Tongue Told the True Story.

 

If you claim to be religious but don’t control your tongue, you are fooling yourself, and your religion is worthless. (James 1:26)

Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce the “Righteousness of God”.  

(James 1:19-20)

 

The Bible says, “The Mouth Speaks What the Heart/Mind Has Been Filled With”.

 

Listen to this conversation between two people.

You don’t know what is in my heart!  I really do know what is in your heart.  How do you know what is in my heart?  “You Just Told Me”.  

 

The mouth speaks what we have filled our heart/mind with.  This is where “Motives” comes into play.  God judges our motives; we can hide our motives from one another, we cannot hide our motives from God.  We must be sincere and truthful to one another and to God.

 

Religion – A system that determines one’s worldview. Even atheists can be religious. 

                Religion is not Christianity.  It is a system designed by man for man. 

 

Our Daily Nuggets

is James explaining to us that what comes out of our mouths are due to what we have placed into our heart/mind.  The person who doesn’t control their tongue is fooling themselves that what they Believe is “Real”, it’s not, it’s “Memorex”.

 

Being “Slow To Speak” is not only Obedience to scripture, but it also shows Great Wisdom in Living by exercising Patience to give the Holy Spirit time to speak to us and time for us to hear Him.  We cannot hear and speak at the same time.

 

Pride and a desire to “Show Everybody How ‘Smart’ We Are”; are main reasons to have a “Out of Control Tongue”.  Let people finish speaking without interrupting them; this is a Biblical Command. If you know that you refuse to control your tongue, know this that “Your Religion is Worthless.  “Repent Today”, ask “The Lord to Help You”, and He will.  Not wanting to “Hear The Truth” is another reason people unleash their tongue.

 

Ask God to Bless you to

Control Your Tongue, and “Watch Wisdom Come” and “See Foolishness Go”!

Trust "Truth"!

                                                                         Trust “Truth”!   God’s Word is the Only Truth.   Let not your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in me.  (John 14:1) I am The Way, “The Truth”, and the Life; no one comes to the Father, but by me.   (John 14:6)                              Trusting Truth is “Resisting The Devil”, now, He’ll Flee. Every person that is born, is born in sin, “Separated from the Father”; now every person must get to the Father.  The work of the Holy Spirit is to get everyone to the Father; the work of the demonic spirit is to keep us from being reunited with the Father.  “This Is The War”!  The War is a spiri...

Don't Let Go!

                                                                     Don’t Let Go!                                            The Wisdom In Persistence!   And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him “until the breaking of the day”.  Then he said, “Let me go, for the day has broken”.  But Jacob said, “I will not let you go unless you bless me”. (Genesis 32:24 & 26)   How Bad Do You Want It? Don’t Let Go Until You Get Your Blessing!   Our Daily Nugget  is Jacob being in a Wrestling Match with an Angel, all night long.  The Angel hit Jacob on his hip and made him limp.  But Jacob would not let him go, even after he asked Jacob...

Rely On Faith.

                                                                                       Rely On Faith. And We Will Be Blessed like Abraham.   Understand, then, that those who have “Faith” are children of Abraham.  Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by “Faith” and announced the gospel in advance to Abraham:  “All nations will be blessed through you”.  So those who “Rely On Faith” are blessed along with Abraham, the man of Faith. (Galatians 3:7-9)   Our Measure of Faith is Sufficient. We “Exercise our Faith” when we “Rely on Faith”!   God choose to Bless all people through Abraham, our Father of Faith. Know and understand Faith.  Faith or Works of the Law? ...
