Tasuta lugemisplaanid ja palveraamatud seoses James 1:16

The Reflective Christian is intended to spark in the reader a desire/habit of loving the Lord with the mind. Christians ought to learn to constantly look at the reality around us through the lens of the Bible. This exercise paves way to transform our mind to gradually conform to the mind of Christ, as we train to reflect on the mundane and the monotonous everyday occurrences in the light of God’s active and unchanging word 

Are you humble? Do you struggle with humility? Why is humility important? These are the questions this series tries to answer.

Life breaks us all so says Earnest Hemingway, but many are made stronger at the broken places. We will journey together through things in life that can break us and what God does in our brokenness to strengthen us and to bring beauty and joy out of our broken places. We will see what James tells us is the reality of trials, the response we are to have and the result of our response to those trials.

It seems we often want to be delivered from temptation while still keeping close touch with it. Pushing temptation away, just not too far away. Is that you? The theme of these guided audio meditations is how to overcome temptation. Day one is better understanding temptation. Day two is knowing the closeness of God in the midst. And day three is learning to walk again after falling.

“Mom” – for most people, this word is a term of endearment. Mothers, whether working outside the home or stay-at-home-moms, married or single, generally are the most deeply connected with their sons and daughters. From the start of their children’s lives, moms play a vital role. They feed and clothe them, nurse their physical wounds, comfort their emotional hurts, and fiercely protect them (think “Mama Bear”). Let’s take a look.

We’ve all fallen victim to temptation's luring power, but being tempted should not be a reason to lose hope in obtaining victory over sin. Encountering temptations is inevitable, but the good news is the Lord is faithful. This plan explores the root causes of temptation to help us submit to God, resist the devil, and overcome habitual sin.

If you’re someone who is plagued with a feeling that something is missing, know you’re not alone. We were created with eternity in mind and the only person who could ever give us the soul satisfaction we yearn for is God.

God's plan for us is to have a life of increase and wholeness and certainly not for harm or destruction. Unfortunately, we have an enemy determined to steal and kill. He will go to great lengths to ensure that we fail, or desensitise us from our intimate relationship with Christ. In this plan, we will look at four strategies that satan uses to derail Christians.

This plan will explore what the letter of James teaches us about growing into maturity in four major areas. 1) WHO GOD IS: God’s character and nature 2) WHO WE ARE: the identity of humanity and/or believers 3) WHAT WE BELIEVE: core Christian doctrines 4) HOW WE LIVE: putting faith into action

This plan is intended as a guide to discovering the message of James for yourself! Grab a notebook to jot down your thoughts as you are led through a process of: 1) Observing the text of James 2) Interpreting its original message to James’ audience in the first century 3) Applying the letter’s timeless truths to your life today

We all ask the question at some point and in some form: why does suffering exist? We try to comprehend why God would allow it on both a personal level in our trials and on a broader level in war, starvation, and disease. If you've asked this question then this reading plan is for you!

Encouragement from a mom who launched her seven children and lived to tell about it. Part 4 of 12 devotions in this series from Robin Meadows.

A 5-part devotional series on how parents can walk their teens through some of life's biggest challenges, centering around the wisdom found in James 1.

Examine the book of James in three parts: the test of faith, the characteristics of faith, and the triumph of faith. Faith without works cannot be called faith. Faith without works is dead, and a dead faith is worse than no faith at all. Faith must be there, but it must be more. It must inspire action. Throughout his epistle to Jewish believers, James integrates true faith and everyday practical experience by stressing that true faith must manifest itself in works of faith. 

Living in the 21st century as a Christian is hard. So was it for the Jewish believers some 2000 years ago. That’s why James, the half-brother of Jesus, wrote a letter to encourage the believers then to press on in their trials. There's much to learn and take heart from his letter, because the very same lessons still apply today.

Christ in you is the hope of glory. Are you living more out of your old, dead nature or your new nature and identity in Christ? Have you drifted away from Jesus? To come back into being a wholly surrendered follower of Christ, we are called to die daily! When you hear the call, how do you respond?

The book of James is beloved for how practical it is in our lives and work. In each day of this five-day plan, you’ll read a chapter of James as well as a short devotional that will focus on a few key verses that are particularly relevant to busy Christian professionals.

As leaders, we’re guaranteed to experience pain. Change brings growth, and with this comes discomfort. When we have the Biblical perspective of pain, we can utilize it in a God-honoring way. This reading plan will walk you through the connection between leadership and pain, encourage you to shift your perspective on discomfort, and encourage you to surround yourself with others who can encourage you, no matter what you’re going through.

God speaks through all kinds of channels. He’s probably speaking to you right now, but you don’t even recognize it’s Him! Every one of us buys into some sort of myth about God’s voice and how to hear it. That’s why each of these devotionals deals with one myth about hearing God. They will help us change how we listen…and then really begin to hear God.
