"Of the Worldly"

As we (Joyce and I) read the Scriptures daily – about once a year we return to James which is one of my favorites. Thus the thoughts this week have come from James. If any would like I’ve written a substantial essay/prose on the Book of James. In it I’ve written a thought for each verse. I’ve correlated the Bible (Old and New Testament), the Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, Pearl of Great Price and the Qur’an – in the references. It also contains as essay discussion.  c/ork

“Of the Worldly”

cji

11/18/16

Looking about and seeing distress

led by those who demand their way

feeble minded lemmings followers

while those who seek advantage

power, wealth, revenge, judgment

pay with flowered words perfumed

allowing those who act like animals

caring not of human life or values

openly scream and cry blasphemies

how much are their lust uncontrolled

preferring pelf to honest wages today

of the worldly Father has spoken

via his Son and the Prophets all

rejecting the love of the Father/Son

reveling in the enmity of the world!

James 4:4 know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.

11 Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.

12 There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?

17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth itnot, to him it is sin.
