Authenticity - Praying Through Suffering

All of us face life that comes at us fast.  Mayhem, as the commercial suggests, is a real thing.  We need a strategy quite a part from Allstate and good hands to get us through.  James is our Sherpa.  He knows the ways through the mountain passes of life in our broken world.  He is going to get us on our knees, not crawling through the passes, but in a stationary position…praying.  James would second Jesus’ motion who said, “Men ought always to pray, and not faint.”  This passage will urge us to pray.

Authenticity - How to Live: 101

There are some passages in the Bible that seem to leap off of the page and grab our conscience more than others.  We are at one of those probing paragraphs this coming Sunday.  By the way, what is your life?
 
Socrates said, and I believe Jesus would advocate as well, “The unexamined life is not worth living.”  This passage is like a diagnostic tool that goes over our strategy for living.  Is our existence like a passing mist?  Are we reaching for the right things, following the right rabbits?  Does our human frailty show up in our mortality and our temporal brevity?   Ought we to lapse into depression? Or find joy in our few days as we give ourselves to God’s plans for us revealed in His book.

James 4:11-12
