From the Pure

The Grace of Repentance

Repentance was a grace of God given an individual at the time of their salvation. It is a gift that remains open to the believer daily inviting them to walk with God. Consider here the gracious way of repentance.

A Jealous God

The sins of the believer are addressed and culminate in the most shocking charge of all. Worldiness is adultery! And God is righteously jealous.

Hedonism or Holiness

Hedonism says my personal pleasure is the ultimate good. Holiness means to be set apart from God. Holiness says "I am set apart for the pleasure of God alone."

From the Pure

Like a mighty river that settles into a calm deep channel of blessing. God's work of salvation flows out of the meek servant like water into a desert. James gives to us in James 3:17 a portrait of this river of wisdom as it flows out of our lives and into our world... We will consider what each expression looks like and also why this is.

Wisdom From Above

A short consideration of the meekness and the purity that is expressed in those operating under the wisdom that comes from above.
