A Minute With Pastor - 9/14/2008
Trouble? Have I got trouble? Do you have a few days to listen? To be sure, not one of us lives free of problems in a world of challenges. The entrance of sin and the resultant curse explains why. What’s more, the leader of this world and the philosophies of this world, which stand opposed to Christianity, provide even more hardship for the follower of God.
Nevertheless, the power from His Word and His Spirit provide the ammunition needed to confront trouble and respond in a God-pleasing way. However, a very necessary ingredient called faith must be present. Got faith? Got real, genuine faith? It is impossible to please God without it (Hebrews 11:6), so the absence or lack of it will leave you headed for shipwreck.
The half-brother of Jesus had much to say about faith. Open his book and you will find a treasure of wealth within these pages of James today!
