OF TRUTH

FROM THE TRUTH ?

“We must give the more earnest heed” Without “earnestness,” we will: Drift away “lest we may glide aside” (YLT) Transgress Neglect salvation Be punished (Heb. 12:25)

“Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness…” (Jas. 1:21)

The mind must be conditioned (Jas. 1:19, 20) SWIFT – to hear SLOW – to speak SLOW – to wrath Removal (Jas. 1:21) All filthiness Overflow of wickedness –maliciousness (Rom. 1:29) Those enraptured with lewd and wicked behavior will not be attracted to what is holy

The commandments of men (Is. 29:13) Indifference (Jas. 1:23, 24) Contempt and anger “And turn aside anger from thy heart, And cause evil to pass from thy flesh, For the childhood and the age are vanity!” (Eccl. 11:10, YLT) Love of the world (Jas. 4:4) Hypocrisy (Matt. 7:5)

“…and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls” (Jas. 1:21)

“Receive” (1209) The idea of welcoming appropriately “Say to wisdom, ‘You are my sister,’ And call understanding your nearest kin” (Prov. 7:4) The way is with “meekness” The way we receive is based on our attitude “My son, keep my words, And treasure my commands within you. Keep my commands and live, And my law as the apple of your eye” (Prov. 7:2)

Psalm 119:42-48, “…For I trust in Your word. 43 And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth, For I have hoped in Your ordinances. 44 So shall I keep Your law continually, Forever and ever. 45 And I will walk at liberty, For I seek Your precepts. 46 I will speak of Your testimonies also before kings, And will not be ashamed. 47 And I will delight myself in Your commandments, Which I love. 48 My hands also I will lift up to Your commandments, Which I love, And I will meditate on Your statutes.

The way we view the word often reflects the way God views us The way we view the word often reflects the way we view worship How do we view worship? How would we describe it?

“But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves” (Jas. 1:22)

Preaching does no good for anyone if it is not received and reproduced (Matt. 7:24-27) GodGod ManMan Information Desired Action Undesired Action Mk. 7:9, 13

A Help: Making The Word Personal World (Jn. 3:16) “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life” Church (Eph. 5:25) “Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her” Me (Gal. 2:20) “I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me”

"I tell you, no; but unless __________ repent you will all likewise perish” (Lk. 13:3) But___________ is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed” (Jas. 1:14) What does it profit, ___________, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can faith save him?” (Jas. 2:14)

“But ________seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you” (Matt. 6:33) “But ________be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry” (2 Tim. 4:5)

A Bridled Tongue (Jas. 1:26) A Concern For Others (Jas. 1:27a) Unspotted From The World (Jas. 1:27b) “…this one will be blessed in what he does” (Jas. 1:25) What Impression Does The Preaching of Truth Have on You?

A Bridled Tongue (Jas. 1:26) A Concern For Others (Jas. 1:27a) Unspotted From The World (Jas. 1:27b) “…this one will be blessed in what he does” (Jas. 1:25) What Impression Are You Leaving For Others To Read?
