Today’s Thought “One More Conversation” G. Ward

“This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger.” James 1:19

The same admonishing necessary for the saints of James’ day continues for our time. The persecution given Christians then was enormous; there was no place to plant their feet (i.e. life on the run). Surely tensions were high as many sought co-existing vs. encouraging (interdependently) one another. The Roman government and many factions within its citizenry maintained hatred for the people of the Way and had it not been for James’ stern warning against conceding to pressure therein, the Empire’s control would probably have wrecked many nation’s pursuit in freedom now. Instead, the obedience from a few saints then, disassembled the enormity of a government perceivably invincible.

Holy God is not at rest regarding guiding the lives of men. Therefore, every word spoken by mankind should be representative of His plans denying ideology’s coup from overzealous men.

Happy Monday!
