It looks like the lock in was so much fun!!!
Anyways, I am so excited that we are reading James this week. I have some questions that I want you to really think about as you go through your week.
· November 18-- Read James 1:26 and consider your own speech. Are you able to control your tongue? Do
you struggle with gossip? Self promotion/self defense? Twisting the truth to get of the hook?
· November 18— Think about James 2:1-6. Pray about it. Do you judge people based on how they look? Do you try not to associate with people that are not as cool as you? Do you desire to make friends with the cool/beautiful/fancy types? What does God think of this?
· November 19— Read James 3:1-16. James is talking about our speech again. How important do you think James thinks our speech should be? What does our speech reveal? Where does Matthew 12:34 say our words come from? So an evil mouth reveals an evil what? (ouch)
· November 19— We see James contrast human wisdom with God’s wisdom. “Bragging about good deeds or trying to look better than others isn’t wisdom, and neither is doing anything motivated by selfishness or envy.” (Cheri Fuller). Read James 3:17 and think about the difference between the wisdom that comes from heaven, with the attitudes you see in other students and your teachers. How is it different?
