James 5:7-12

Wow, the last time we did this an amazing thing happened!  Thanks!
Be patient!  Hold On!  Stand Firm!  Expect Persecution!
I would hear people talk about how the world is anti-Christian, and to be honest, I didn't believe them.  People still respected God and lived out the Golden Rule!  But, as he was talking today, I don't know if that's still true.  Are we still a Christian nation?  Am I ridiculed because of my faith, or am I not ridiculed because I have assimilated into what the culture believes.
He talked about being patient through trials, but the words "If you are not experiencing trials, maybe you're not living the way Jesus wants you to" come back to remind me.
I don't need to be afraid, nothing is going to happen that You and I can't handle.
And I don't have to settle for this life that most people would settle for.
When Jesus talked about life to the full, He meant it.  He has a plan for us to have the most incredible life possible.  And it comes from really doing what He says, thinking about it, letting it be the purpose.
It's about really living it!
