There are two groups of people living in this world today; those that are saved and those that are lost; those that are for Christ and those that are against Him. There are two creations living side by side; those with their feet firmly fixed in the old creation in Adam (who are part of the kingdom of darkness), and those with their hearts resting in Christ Jesus (who are part of the kingdom of light and have been born again into the new creation in Christ). There are two worldviews, two mindsets, two domains, and two frames of reference into which every member of the human race falls. In chapter 4, we find James warning that the pursuit of pleasure and relying on our own plans too often results in a compromised faith and lack of dependence on the Lord Who is the Giver of life and through Whom all good gifts come. James points out that if a believer strays from the path of truth or "falls from grace" as Paul describes it, he becomes a friend of the world. As His children, we should be very careful to Live According To His Will on a daily basis and be sure to include Him in our preparations and planning, rather than blithely making arrogant decisions and prideful pronouncements that exclude the Lord from the equation. Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. Our United Prayer:
Heavenly Father, it is easy to get caught up in the joys and cares of this life. Help us to remember how fragile our lives are and how short our time on earth is, in relation to eternity. Help us to live our lives with a eternal perspective, knowing that You have our lives in Your hands, and You do know what tomorrow will bring. May we take to heart the words of this precious old poem: "Only one life 'twill soon be past. Only what's done for Christ will last." Thank You, Lord. In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN. |
Prayer
We are a growing group of people praying daily for and with others. We were led to start an online ministry to deliver what is needed more now than ever, a place where you can go to easily to submit a prayer request or requests involving others to pray for your needs. The Power of Prayer. Matthew 18:20- For where two or more come together in my name, there I am among them. You are never alone in prayer. The Power Of Numbers Praying.
We ask you to pray for this ministry, for its success in helping others in need of prayer. Archives
