Ladies and Gentlemen, how do we share GOOD NEWS?

My brethren, count it all JOY when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your Faith produces Patience.

But let His kind of Patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing. If any of you lacks Wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him or her.

But let him ask in Faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of Life which the Lord has promised to those who Love Him.

Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone.

James 1:2-13

Dear ones, enthusiasm is contagious! Again I say:

ENTHUSIASM IS CONTAGIOUS! 

We may know that children’s song – If you’re happy and you know it, clap your hands; stomp your feet; praise the Lord!

Truth is that we as Believers have the BEST NEWS for ALL of mankind on the face of the earth.  We know in our heart of hearts that:

Jesus Christ has conquered sin and death and has Redeemed from ALL the curses of the Law!

By His GRACE we are saved – received Salvation and this is a GIFT!

What Jesus Christ has already done for me, He can do the same and even more for you!

Holy Spirit of the Living LORD, we PRAY in agreement with Your Word in James 1:16

So don’t be misled, my dear brothers and sisters. Whatever is Good and Perfect comes down to us from God our Father, who created all the Lights in the Heavens. He never changes or casts a shifting shadow. He chose to give birth to us by giving us His True Word. And we, out of all creation, became His prized possession (sons & daughters).

Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry. Human anger does not produce the Righteousness God desires.

So get rid of all the filth and evil in your lives, and humbly accept the Word God has planted in your hearts, for it has the power to save your souls.

But don’t just listen to God’s Word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves. For if you listen to the Word and don’t obey, it is like glancing at your face in a mirror. You see yourself, walk away, and forget what you look like.

But if you look carefully into the perfect law that sets you free, and if you do what it says and don’t forget what you heard, then God will Bless you for doing it!

Amen and Amen!
