WORTH HEARING |

NOVEMBER, 2007 Consider a
devotional study of the book of James. Read James 2 and then
listen to the well done audio messages by Pastor Kevin Krell. If
you have a 20-30 commute one way you can listen to the full message in
your round trip instead of listening to the traffic (assuming you have an
Mp3 device such as an Ipod). I had never heard of Pastor Krell either, but
his messages are sound, and sufficiently in depth to aid your assimilation
of the pithy passages in James. This week we will listen to two
messages on James 2 (which means you would have read through this chapter
at least 2 times by week's end. Consider keeping a notebook to record
what the Spirit speaks to you through the Word of Truth)...
James 2:1-13 Know Mercy
James 2:14-26 Working Hard or Hardly Working
If you would like
more exposition on James, Pastor Steven Cole's written messages
(Pdf) are
excellent and end with several discussion questions to allow you to apply
what you have learned. Enjoy! And be edified and equipped!
James 2:1-7 Why Partiality is Wrong - 1
James 2:8-13 Why Partiality is Wrong -
2
James 2:14-19 Saving Faith: Genuine or
False?
James 2:20-26 Are We Justified by
Works? |

DOWNLOAD
InstaVerse
for free. It is an easy to
install and simple to use Bible Verse pop up tool that allows you to read
cross references
in context and in the Version you prefer. Only the KJV is free with
this download but you can also download a free copy of
Bible Explorer
which in turn offers
free Bibles
that work with
InstaVerse,
including the excellent, literal translation, the English Standard Version
(ESV). Other popular versions are available for purchase. When you
hold the mouse pointer over a Scripture reference anywhere on the Web (as
well as offline in Word for Windows, email, etc) the passage pops up
immediately.
InstaVerse
can be disabled if the
popups become distractive. This utility really does work and makes it easy
to read the actual passage in context and not just the chapter and verse
reference. |

DISCLAIMER:
Before you "go to the commentaries" go to the Scriptures and study them
inductively (Click
here for 3 part overview of how to do
Inductive Bible Study) in dependence on
your Teacher, the Holy Spirit, Who Jesus promised would
guide us into all the truth (John
16:13). Remember that Scripture is always the best commentary on
Scripture. Any commentary, even those by the most conservative and orthodox
teacher/preachers cannot help but have at least some bias of the expositor
based upon his training and experience. Therefore the inclusion of specific
links does not indicate that we agree with every comment. We have made a
sincere effort to select only the most conservative, "bibliocentric"
commentaries. Should you discover some commentary or sermon you feel may not
be orthodox, please email your concern. I have removed several links in
response to concerns by discerning readers. I recommend that your priority
be a steady intake of solid Biblical food so that with practice you will
have your spiritual senses trained to discern good from evil (see note
Hebrews 5:14).
