James 4:1-17
Battle within you is come from your desires.
No matter what you do you can't have what you want, because you do not ask God, or you ask with wrong motives.
Anyone who choose to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.
God oppose the proud but gives grace to the humble. (Prov 3:34)
Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you.
Sinners wash your hands, double-minded purify your hearts. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.
Brothers , do not slender one another. Who are you to judge your neighbor?
Our life is a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes We ought to say, "If it is the Lord's will, we will love and do this."
Anyone, who knows the good he ought to do and doesn't do it ,sins.
Why
James teach Christians many behaviors we have to do. If we has many desires then we battle within us and suffer many struggling. Humble and purify our heart.
Come close to the Lord, then the Lord comes to us.
Aggressive to do the good things is obligation, if don't do it is sin.
The root cause of quarrels and fighting is envy.
Don't assume you have total control of your life: that is in God's hand too.
The Lord look at our heart, so the motives are important when we ask to God.
Because we like something in the world, then we will have double-minded.
How?
Confess our inner sins to the Lord, humble ourselves and purify our heart, do the good thing when we know. No any excuse can say before the Lord. Honor the name of God and we receive peace.

First learn to control their tongues
James 3:1-18
A perfect man: who is never fault in what he says, he is able to keep his whole body in check.
Tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts.
The tongue is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.
No man can tame the tongue.
With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God's likeness. Out of the same mouth should not come praise and cursing.
Fig tree can not bear olives, grapevine can not bear figs.
Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.
1)Wisdom comes from earthly, where have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice.
2)Wisdom comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere.
Why?
Tongue connect to the heart, if a man's heart with evil mind, his mouth will come out with course and make his life worse. It is contaminated by the earth.
Speak correctly is a wisdom and it comes from heaven, his life is influenced by the Lord.
Those who want to be teachers in the church must first learn to control their tongues.
Pure wisdom comes from God an shows itself in gentleness, peace, mercy. It is very different thing from being worldly-wise.
James offers a sort of counter-order wisdom, in contrast to the conventional wisdom of the wellborn and educated in the Greco-Roman world.
How?
May be I am foolish in these world, but I like to be wise man in present of the Lord, it is more effort to be done in my deed and learning in my life.
Don't curse or say any destructive or negative words to others. This is I need to do. If showing someone the correct way have to say with love.

A person is justified by what he does and no by faith alone
James 2:14-26
If a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? No. faith by it self, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.
You believe that there is one God, even the demons believe that- and shudder.
A person is justified by what he does and no by faith alone.
Abraham and Rahab their faith was made complete by what they did.
The body without the spirit is dead, so faith without deeds is dead.
Why?
Our faith needs deed to prove. Faith is not speak on the mouth only. Claim faith is easy, but when something happen we confess real faith to show it by deeds. What we do is more important than what we claimed.
Faith that stops at words is not faith at all. Even demons believe in God, and fear him, but that won't save them from God's judgments.
If what we believe does not affect the way we live, what we do, it is dead.
How?
Dear heavenly Father, please give me the strength to walk out what my faith in you, get rid of the greedy desire in me. Help me do the words of the Lord. May my mind and my deeds may honor your name.

How Greedy I was
How greedy I was, I like to take some petty profit.
Today I did it again after lunch I took away most of the left food. I should asked others, do they like to take some. But I didn't. Since I left the restaurant, my conscience was blaming me whole day. I know this is a sin in me. I have to get rid of it. Because my narrow desire make me can do bigger things. Dear Lord please forgive me, have mercy on me, save me from these sin, give me strength to conquer this sin. Don't be a greedy man any more.

Mercy triumphs over judgement
James 2:1-13
As believers in our glorious Lord Jesus, don't show favoritism.
God has chosen those who are poor in the eyes of the world to be rich in faith and to inherit the kingdom he promised those who love him.
Love your neighbor as yourself. But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as lawbreaker.
Speak and act as those who are going to be judged by the law that gives freedom, because judgement without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgement.
Why?
It is a natural human tendency to defer to social superior and despise those below us on the social scale. There is nothing Christian about this. The right thing is to treat everyone with equal respect.
Christ's law is a law of mercy, freeing people from the penalty of sin- something the law of Moses could no do.
Matthew 6:14-15, 18:21-25- Merciful to others then he has mercy from the Lord.
How?
I have much mercy from the Lord so I should forsake my selfish mind but follow the command of the Lord ; love my neighbor as myself. Who are my neighbor- all peoples live around me.

Put faith in practice and show it
James 1:19-27
Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry, for man's anger does ot bring about the righteous life.
Grid of all moral filth and the evil and humble accept the word planted in you, which can save you.
Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. If the man who doing it, he will be blessed in what he does.
Anyone does not keep a tight rein on his tongue, he deceives himself and his religion is worthless.
Religious that God our father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
Christians have control of their tongues and their tempers. They set themselves to discover God's standards and live them out. They put faith in practice- and show it.
Why?
Spoke wrong words need ten time effort to recover it. And it can do right thing in present of the Lord.
Humble our selves and do what the Bible tells us. The foundation of our words is Love, so humble accept the word.
No only listen but also do what it says, most of us does not care what we have done, meditate the word for ourselves, read the word for me not for others.
Religious: Christian means an action of love and show it to needed people.
How?
Don't talk too much but do it, show our faith in practice.

The crown of life
James 1:9-18
The brother in humble circumstances ought to take pride in his high position. But one who is rich should take pride in his low position. Because he will pass away like a wild flower.
Blessed if the man who perseveres under trials, because when he has stood the test he will received the crown of life that God has promised to those who love him.
When tempted, no one should say, "God is tempting me", but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he us dragged away and enticed.
Don't be deceived, every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadow.
Why?
Rich is temporary in this world, it will pass away, so every one should humble. Rich man in humble, in low position may get more pride. But usually rich man is uneasy stay in low position.
Blessed man id the man who perseveres under trails, because he has the change to received the crown of life.
Temptation is come from our own desire. After desire has conceived, then birth to sin, when it is full-grown, then sin birth to death. Sin came from very little desire.
People can do good thing thing for all of us has sin after we born to this world, unless he has gift from above. The Lord He was, He is and He will be. He is everlasting God.
How?
James gave us a guide to be a Christian. Humble in any situation and do not blame. We are the first fruits of all the created in his words. Don't look down ourselves. I am a prince of the Lord.
To get the crown of life need offer our faith an strength.

If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.
when you ask, you must believe and not doubt.
The one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, who should not expect to receive anything from the Lord, and who are unstable in all they do.
Why?

To others show mercy, mixed with fear; Jude
Jude 1-25
Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ and a brother of James, To those who have been called.
For certain individuals whose condemnation was written about long ago have secretly slipped in among you. They are ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ.
Though you already know all this, I want to remind you that the Lord at one time delivered his people out of Egypt, but later destroyed those who did not believe.
The sins
1)They have taken the way of Cain;2) they have rushed for profit into Balaam’s error; 3)they have been destroyed in Korah’s rebellion.
4)These people are blemishes at your love feasts.They are clouds without rain, blown along by the wind; autumn trees, without fruit and uprooted—twice dead.
5)These people are grumblers and faultfinders; they follow their own evil desires; they boast about themselves and flatter others for their own advantage.
The apostles said,"In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly desires.
A call to reverence".
Dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, 21 keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life.
Be merciful to those who doubt; save others by snatching them from the fire; to others show mercy, mixed with fear—hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh
Why?
Jude reminded all of being called Christians, don't pervert the grace of our God into a license for immorality. The judgement will come on the great day. They will die on their desire.
Jude reminded all of being called Christians, don't pervert the grace of our God into a license for immorality. The judgement will come on the great day. They will die on their desire.
What we have to careful as a Christian and check to others in Church, 1)Cain: worship without reverence,2)Balaam's error: For his profits 3) Korah’s rebellion: Do not respect the leader or servants in Church. 4)Dead life, without fruits 5)Grumbler and faultfinder 6)Boast themselves.
In the last time there are those scoffers people among us. They are not real follower of Christ, they do for their own advantages. It is very easy to identify, and we have to reminder us, pray in holy spirit, let us don't like them.
Save others with mercy mixed with fear- for if we careless may do the same evil thing as they do.
How?
Building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit. Be merciful to those who doubt; save others from the fire; to others show mercy,mixed with fear.
Fear is do with aware of the Holy Spirit, I can do nothing, all I am doing is the Lord gave me strength and gifts let me to do it.
Love is as strong as death, its jealousy is cruel as the grave
Song of songs 8:1-14
Beloved lead lover to her mother’s house, and let everyone
knows that they are lover.
I charge you,O
daughters of Jerusalem, that yet stir
not up, nor awake my love, until he please.
Set me as a seal upon his heart. As a seal upon his arm; [Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm]: for
love and jealousy are exist same time: the
coals thereof are coals of fire,
which waters cannot quench love, neither
can the floods drown it; if a man
would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be
contemned-scorned,despised.
What shell we do for
our sister in the day when she shall spoken for?
If she be a wall, we
will build upon her a palace of silver; and if she be a door, we will inclose her with boards
of cedar.
Love is as strong as death, its jealousy is cruel as the grave.
Why?
Love is stirred from heart of beloved, it cannot be forced
or pretended. So this words are mentioned many times.
Love and jealousy re same strong, when love is there, no
anyone can exist among them. The power of love like fire, it is with the power
of death. No one can stop it, even sacrifice his life for love.
Love is precious cannot be purchased or exchanged with
others.
Respect every young lady to choose her real loved one. Protect her for she is my sister. Even more
precious for she is my daughter.
How?
Love is pure and honesty between each other, our love on
earth is same as our love with the Lord, so the Load said He is a jealousy God.
Love the Lord with all your heart, all your soul and all your strength. We
cannot worship the Lord and the Money.

The angry with his anointed one: renounced the covenant with your servant, put an end to his splendor and cast his throne to the ground, cut short the days of his youth; covered him with a mantle of shame.
Remember how fleeting is my life. For what futility you have created all men! What man can live and not see death, or save himself from the power of the grave?
Remember, Lord, how your servant has been mocked, how I bear in my heart the taunts of all the nations.
Praise be to the Lord forever! Amen and Amen.

How short a man of his life is on the world, how futility he is? The real value of a man is rely on the Lord and trust in Him.
How?

A cry of despair. The prayer is the darkest of all the Psalms. Here is a man who feels life ebbing away and has no hope beyond death. There is not one to turn to but God.
Why?
Even no hope to turn but pray to the Lord, the Lord is the only hope for a faithful man. It looks silly but He is a reliable savior.
The Lord may save us from the deepest pit, but it may not, the authority is belong to the Lord. But the mercy and faithfulness of the Lord is forever.
The hope we can't see, but it is always come truth. It needs our experience in life. The Lord save every life by different way.
How?
No matter what happen the Lord is my savior,my God, I haven't strength or no way to go, He has the way. He is the way, the truth and the life.

Walk is blameless.
Psalm 84:1-12
Blessed are 1)those who dwell in your house; 2) those whose strength is in you, who have set their hearts on pilgrimage. 3)the man who thrust in you.
For the Lord is a sun and shield; the Lord bestows favor and honor; no good thing does he withhold from those walk is blameless.
Praise be to the Lord, How lovely is your dwelling place, better is one day in your courts than a thousand elsewhere.
The pilgrim comes to Jerusalem for one of the great annual festivals His heart sings for joy at the prospect of worshipping God in his place.
Why?
Valley of Baca: Possible an actually the pilgrim passes on his way to Jerusalem. But the "thirsty valley" gives the sense.
We don't have like pilgrim went to Jerusalem in this generation, but set out heart on pilgrimage as walk forward to the way of getting award from the heaven.
Blessed man is who dwell in the place of righteous, whose strength is in the Lord and who set his heart in God and has faith in the Lord. Because the Lord does not withhold good thing to those who walk is blameless.
Walk in blameless need more strength from the Lord, he has to bear his cross the follow Christ.

You alone are the Most High over all the earth
Psalm 83:1-18
O God, do not keep silent; O God, be not still.
The enemies say:"let us destroy them as a nation, so that Israel’s name is remembered no more.”
“Let us take possession of the pasturelands of God.”
Prayer: "Make them like tumbleweed, my God, like chaff before the wind." "Cover their faces with shame, LORD, so that they will seek your name."
"May they ever be ashamed and dismayed; may they perish in disgrace."
Let them know that you, whose name is the LORD — that you alone are the Most High over all the earth.
The nation is in grave danger from an alliance of all the old enemies, plus powerful Assyria. The people call on God's aid:remembering past deliverance: "Do to them what you did..." Their victory will show that there is only one god and all the nations are subject to his sovereign rule.
Why?
When enemies are proud, we will think the Lord is quiet and still, so psalmist cried out to the Lord Please do not quiet.
But for us when we pray or after we prayed to the Lord, we should be still, release out burden to the Christ. He presides this world.
The emenies of the Lord want to destroy the nation of Israel and their possession, so as Israelite hope the Lord let them perish in disgrace. There is not any compromise space between them. It is like the Justice and evil could not be presented before the Lord. But the Lord gives chance to the evil one to repent until the coming of that Day.
Finally the prayer hope all people know the Lord is His name- you are the Most High over a the earth.
How?
Acknowledge the Lord is the Most High over all nation, let our behavior could show the witness of God among peoples. Let build house on the Rock.

Exercise God's right of judgement over others
Psalm 82:1-8
God presides in the great assembly; he gives judgement among the "gods".
How long will you defend the unjust and partiality to the wicked?
They know nothing, they understand nothing. They walk about in darkness; all the foundation of the earth are shaken.
You are "gods"; you are all sons of the Most high. But you will die like mere men; you will fall like every other ruler.
This psalm can be taken as it stands: god takes the gods of the nations to task for their injustice and oppression. This scene recalls Job 1:6. Satan was presented before the Lord.
Psalm can be understood as referring to corruption and injustices in the law-courts: God calling the judges to account. Exercise God's right of judgement over others.
Why?
God presides in great assembly- the final judgement at end of the world.
Man doesn't know the Lord is the almighty. Men are walking in darkness, and doing what they do not know. How pity they are, even they don't know they are gods. People need the gospel to do justice.
John 10:34, Jesus mentioned he is son of God, but the Jews wanted to stone Jesus for blasphemy. We who believe Jesus is son of the Lord and believe his blood shed on cross is for erase our sin are the sons of God. We are gods. It is noble identity how great we are.
But we all will die as mere men like Jesus, we will transform to another shape with eternal life.
How?
Can I do justice in my living affair? Mercy is needed but do not forsake the justice. Don't afraid the wicked threaten for the Lord is in charge of this world. Aggressively, rescue the weak and needy deliver them from the hand of the wicked.
