You probably couldn’t find two people more different than the two examples chosen by James to show the difference between dead faith and dynamic faith. Abraham was the first patriarch and designated figurehead of the Jewish nation. Rahab was a prostitute who lived in Jericho during Israel’s assault of that city. But both demonstrate how true faith will produce action and change.

Everything that I loved I had to give up, burried many animals..but I used to console , assure myself : Lord, if this cat stays with me, I can endure anything. No. She also had to be burried and now at last my biggest love, .my husband. !! Now. LORD, what have you got in store for me?? What door will you open?? Will you pray for me Skip? There is no church , i'm a foreign in this country, no family... but I listen to you every day, thank you❤❤❤

Jesus can love me so He can loves( John 14:21❤; John 14:23❤) you😊❤ too in Christ's love❤ to love ❤ 1 John 4:18❤-19😊❤ in Christ. John 21:15-19( Jesus😊1st❤ and Peter😊❤) John 21:18-19 "18Truly😊❤, truly😊❤, I say to you( Peter😊❤ or you😊❤ or us😊❤'s today too), when you were young, used to dress yourself and walk wherever you wanted, but when you😊❤ are old, you will stretch out❤ your hands❤ , and another will dress you😊❤( Peter😊❤) and carry you where you do not want to go." 19 ( This he ( Jesus😊1st❤) said to show by what kind of death he was to glorify❤😊 God(God😊100%❤ our Father in heaven). And After saying this he said to him(Peter😊❤ in Christ), " Follow me." "( John 21:18-19 ESV Study Bible😊❤ amen to Follow Jesus😊1st❤ in Christ). John 21:15-19( Jesus😊1st❤ and Peter😊❤) "15 When they had finished breakfast, Jesus(😊1st❤) said to Simon Peter(😊❤), " Simon, son of John, do you loves me more than these? " He said to him, "Yes, Lord( Jesus😊1st❤); you know that I love you." He( Jesus😊1st❤) said to him( Peter😊❤), " Feed😊❤ my lambs(😊❤'s) ." 16 He( Jesus😊1st❤) said to him a second time, " Simon, son of John, do you love me? " He said to him, " Yes, Lord( Jesus😊1st❤); you know that I love you." He( Jesus😊1st❤) said to him(Peter😊❤) , "Tend❤ my sheep(😊❤'s)." 17 He( Jesus😊1st❤) said to him the third time, " Simon( Peter😊❤), son of John, do you love me? " Peter was grieved( what does grieved me to us today when you and I have family members in Christ past away recently?) because he( Jesus😊1st❤) said to him the third time, " Do you love❤ me?" and he ( Peter😊❤) said to him( Jesus😊1st❤ my Lord and my savior too in Christ so "him" = Jesus(😊1st❤)), " Lord( Jesus😊1st❤), you know❤ everything(❤), you know😊❤ that I love(❤) you( Jesus😊1st❤ our Lord and our savior in Christ) ."

Doing God's will in Christ is not easy, it is community of God's people's service to God together too in Christ too in Christ. Jesus loves me( John 14:21😊❤ and John 14:23😊❤ in Christ). Since God and Jesus can love me , God ( John 3:16😊❤) and Jesus( John 14:21😊❤; John 14:23😊❤ and Hebrews 13:8😊❤) can also love😊❤ you❤ too in pure heart and in God's ways( John 3:16😊❤; John 14:21😊❤, John 14:23😊❤; 1 John 4:18❤-19❤😊) too in Christ😊❤.

Mark 11:27-33( The authority of Jesus 😊1st❤ challenged) "27 And they came again to Jerusalem. And as he( Jesus😊1st❤) was walking in the temple, the chief priests and the scribes and the elders came to him, 28 and they said to him, " By what authority are you doing these things, or who gave you this authority to do them?

Answer me." 31 And they discussed it with one another, saying, " If we say, " From heaven, ' he will say, ' Why then did you not believe him? ' 32 But shall we say, 'From man' ? " - they were afraid of the people, for they all held that John(😊❤) really was a prophet. 33 So they answered Jesus(😊1st❤), " We do not know." And Jesus(😊1st❤) said to them, " Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things." "( Mark 11:27-33 ESV Study Bible) Went to joined others and the children wanted us ( my wife and I ) to play board game with them and we played with their parents too.

Great message

Thanks Pastor Skip. I didn't realize that Mt Moriah where God commanded Abraham to sacrifice Issac was the same place where Jesus was crucified. That's fantastic! - but then of course God is fantastic!

Regarding faith, I always liked A.W. Tozer's definition. He said it is confidence in the character of God. And we get that confidence by having knowledge of God and His attributes. He pointed out Psalm 9:10, "And they that know Thy Name, will put their trust in Thee." As we gain knowledge of God through His Word, we learn His character and faith will spring up automatically...God bless.

“Even more blessed are those who hear the word of God, and put it into practice” Luke 11:28 Before I had a divine intervention and came to know Christ, the number one thing that kept me from Christianity was incongruence in speech vs actions of Christian’s. (Proclaiming Christian’s behaving contrary to their beliefs). If I may encourage everyone today, go put Gods Holy, sacred, beautiful, life changing word into practice. Serve (love) your neighbor well. Atheists watch your actions more than listen to your words. The Proof is in the pudding.

The Lord God’s love for us humans is equal to the extent of His justice, meaning that the Lord loves sinners so that they repent of their sins and return to the Lord God completely, otherwise the Lord God will turn His face away from them, and the Bible is full of examples of this, especially when the children of Israel turned away from the Lord or did something wrong. Something contrary to what the Lord commanded them, for it is written that the Lord has turned His face away from them.

What do you think it implies to us today? Do you think this is applicable to us today in our time in Christ at the temple or church today? What do you think? The Bible in Mark 11:15-18 "15 And they came to Jerusalem.
