Proverbs 3:5, 6 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
If we will but…
* TRUST the LORD with ALL your heart ( He’s taken care of our eternal life. Surely we can trust Him with THIS life! He is in total control, and we are His children that He loved enough to sacrifice His own Son.)
* and not LEAN into your own understanding (Our hearts are desperately wicked and our pride is without measure),
* and in all WAYS (everything you do) acknowledge HIM! (Follow God’s lead!),
Then…
* He will direct us! As in the 40-year wilderness sojourn, He is our trailblazer! He will make our paths spiritually prosperous, an abundant life (His definition, not ours!).

If the LORD Will…
April 21, 2024 • Bro. Lynn Schuyler • James 4:13–17
Life is… • Fragile • Temporal • But the Lord is powerful! We are ordinary, but God is Extraordinary! James 4:13 Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: 14 Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away. 15 For that ye ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that. 16 But now ye rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil. 17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.
He Gives More Grace
April 7, 2024 • Bro. Lynn Schuyler • James 4:6–12
James 4:6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. 7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded. 9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness. 10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up. James 4:11 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?
Where's the Beef?
March 3, 2024 • Bro. Lynn Schuyler • James 4:1–5
James 4:1 From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? 2 Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not. 3 Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. 4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, 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. 5 Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?
