Change!

So here are the directions for a more powerful,

fulfilling, effective and dynamic New

James 1:21-25

21 So put out of your life every evil thing and every kind of

wrong. Then in gentleness accept

God’s teaching that is planted in your hearts,

which can…

…save you. 22 Do what God’s teaching says; when you only

listen and do nothing, you are fooling

yourselves. 23 Those who hear God’s teaching and do

nothing are like people who look at

themselves…

…in a mirror. 24 They see their faces and then go away and

quickly forget what they looked like. 25 But the truly happy

people are those who carefully study God’s

perfect law that makes people free...

…and they continue to study it. They do not

forget what they heard, but they obey what God’s teaching says. Those who do

this will be made happy.”
