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.

Lent Day 9 James 1: 22-24

Day 9! Even if you don’t memorize word for word, you’re filling your mind with good stuff!

James 1: 22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.

James 1: 23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror.

James 1:24 For he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like.
