Chapter 4 Overview - James 4
Now that we have completed the third chapter of James, we will now embark upon our study of James 4. As we have done previously, we will spend the first devotion for this chapter to get a broad scope of what we're going to be dealing with; it will do us no good to do a verse-by-verse study if we don't have an understanding of the overarching message that is being delivered, as well as tying it into the previous three chapters that we have already studied. Before moving forward, I recommend that you take a few moments to sit down and thoroughly read through the entire chapter for yourself...
Wisdom Contrasted: Part 9 - James 3:18
In our study today, we are concluding our look at heavenly wisdom versus earthly wisdom. This marks a bit of a milestone as we will have reached the end of chapter three and will be roughly 60% through the epistle of James. As we close, our study focuses in on James 3:18, the final verse of chapter three, which deals with the fruits of righteousness that come as a result of exercising heavenly wisdom. Let us jump right into our study by opening up our Bibles and reading what the Word of God has to say...
Wisdom Contrasted: Part 8 - James 3:17c
Today we're going to conclude our look at James 3:17 and the attributes that comprise heavenly wisdom. We've already taken a look at its motive and the first five of these seven characteristics; our study today is going to continue with the final two and then tie it all together with a very common thread, which I've had you pondering on over the past few studies now. As such is our custom, let us first begin this study by opening up the Word of God to our passage and read what it has to say...
Wisdom Contrasted: Part 7 - James 3:17b
Picking up right where we left off yesterday, we were looking at James 3:17 and the characteristics that comprise heavenly wisdom. As a quick recap, we found out that the motive for such wisdom is purity, which is then characterized by being peaceable and gentle. Our study today will take a look at three of the remaining five characteristics of heavenly wisdom before we finish up this verse and then prepare to close this portion of study with one final verse. Let us begin, as always, by looking to the Word of God and James 3:17b...
Wisdom Contrasted: Part 6 - James 3:17a
After spending a good amount of time developing our understanding of worldly wisdom and seeing what James had to say about that, we are now prepared to move back into the realm of heavenly wisdom that comes from the Lord above. We caught a glimpse of this in the first few verses of this study when we examined James 3:13; that was only a taste, though, as we only looked at it in a very general sense. Today, our focus takes us to James 3:17 where we will start to get an in-depth look at the characteristics that comprise heavenly wisdom...

Prayer God's Way: The Disciple's Prayer - Part 1

Written by LaRosa Johnson
Thursday, 20 December 2007

Do you have problems with your prayer life or wish that it could be a lot stronger than it already is? Or, are you a new believer who has questions concerning what prayer is really all about? If either one of these is true, then you should learn to pray God's way, as we embark upon the second installment in our "Read.Pray.Worship.Live." series. This is a two part message that looks at the where, when, why and how of prayer as we walk through the Scriptures and then take an in-depth look at Matthew 6:9-13, commonly known as the Lord's prayer (which we have renamed the disciple's prayer). If you want to improve your prayer life, then click the link and start reading!

UrbanWordz Episode #6 - Let's Kill Sin! (Timothy Brindle)

What's the haps family?! The war against the flesh is a constant reality in the life of the believer, and it is something that we have to continually combat against. The life of the believer consists of fighting against sin and its temptations. In today's podcast, we're going to take a look at Timothy Brindle's song "Let's Kill Sin!" from the Killing Sin album. In this particular song, Timothy speaks on the Christian's war cry for our war against sin. Using his song, we take a look at the tactics of sin and what we can do to overcome it as believers, specifically that we are dead to sin and alive in Christ. This is a powerful song and an even more powerful album that is so full of the Word of God. We're just touching the surface with this podcast, but we hope that it can help you in your daily battle in the angelic conflict.

Exciting Times in Ministry

Written by LaRosa Johnson
Tuesday, 29 April 2008

Ministry has really become exciting of late, more than it normally is anyway. There has been a lot going on, along with some things in the works, and they have left me with a good feeling about where I am in life right now and the direction that God is taking me and Trailblazin Ministries. A lot of the more recent happenings started a couple weeks ago, especially in terms of what's about to take place at Trailblazin Ministries, but I will get to that in a moment. First, I want to talk about the opportunity I had this past weekend. It all started last Tuesday (April 22nd) when I got an instant message from my pastor; he was letting me know that there was a teaching opportunity at another church available for that Sunday if I was available. Not having anything planned, I accepted the invitation to preach at...

Dry Bonez Live - Love & Loss

Written by G-Rich
Sunday, 04 May 2008

Dry Bonez Live - Love & Loss I'm amazed at how I always pick an album that relates to a situation I'm presently in. For the last month, I've been staring at the reality of really living out the Christian faith. Bangin' Trip Lee's "To Live is Christ," and talking to a few of my closest homies, I've started to swallow the pill. Walking in Christ's footsteps will bring me some serious loss as far as the world is concerned. At first I doubted my ability to endure this, but after a good look through the Scriptures and an ear to Love & Loss, I realized that I really had nothing to lose. On this album, Dry Bonez Live brings straight fire to the direct message of John 3:30: "He must increase; I must decrease." Facing this, we can all admit that it's a statement we must live out in our lives. Our worldly status decreases as we flee from our sin and cling to the Light. To show a positive twist on what may seem like a depressing situation, the album reveals the world's values for what they really are: nothing. With songs like "All Gone" and "Fallen," the world's fleshy idols are denounced, revealing the lack of satisfaction they produce. On the contrary, these tracks are accompanied by those lifting the King, showing the infinitely great God...
