Lent Day 12 James 2: 5-7

Day 12! Doing awesome!

James 2: 5 Listen, my beloved brothers, has not God chosen those who are poor in the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom, which he has promised to those who love him?

James 2: 6 But you have dishonored the poor man. Are not the rich the ones who oppress you, and the ones who drag you into court?

James 2: 7 Are they not the ones who blaspheme the honorable name by which you were called?

Lent Day 11 James 2: 1-4

Day 11! Starting chapter 2!

James 2: 1 My brothers, show no partiality as you hold the faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory.

James 2: 2 For if a man wearing a gold ring and fine clothing comes into your assembly, and a poor man in shabby clothing also comes in,

James 2: 3 and if you pay attention to the one who wears the fine clothing and say, “You sit here in a good place,” while you say to the poor man, “You stand over there,” or, “Sit down at my feet,”

James 2: 4 have you not then made distinctions among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts?

Lent Day 10 James 1: 25-27

Day 10! Don’t give up!

James 1: 25 But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing.

James 1: 26 If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person’s religion is worthless.

James 1: 27 Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.
