Auxiliary members look on as Rev. J.L. Wills turns the first shovel of earth. GUIDELINES TO FAITH James 4:1-10, 13-17 The friction and strife which existed among the believers of the dispersion were notorious. James opened this chapter with a question which was designed to probe bis readers to the depths. James referred to the general condition of hostility within the ranks of believers as "wars," and to the bad outbreaks of their hostile feelings, which followed their heated arguments, as "fightings." He understood fully that such things have their source in lust, or an unsatisfied desire for praise and preeminence. The self-centered church members to whom James was writing did not get the things which they coveted. When one's life style is in keeping with the world system without any recognition of God, it always fails to produce the desired results. Lusting after that which belongs to others causes wars. . :. James' answer to his thought-provoking question, with which he opened this chapter, was that such an unhappy condition was the result of carnal desires. The remedy was earnest prayer to God. Advancement in the work of the Lord always comes through prayer and never by strife. God will not condone His children walking in wordly ways and living in wordly fellowships, for such in contrary to His will and proves that they are at enmity with Him. Un faithfulness to Christ and walks in the ways of the world is Building Planned Announcements From Vcw Pool ftrnvp Frst Baptist Church compared to a woman who leaves her husband to go with other lovers. To live victoriously we must resist Satan, who is the enemy of God and destroyer of men. Satan will flee from a child of God who resists him in the name of God. Drawing near to God and having daily communion with Him is a very effective weapon against Satan. Communion with God must be preceded by the cleansing of both the external and the in ternal life. Sin in our lives, in the lives of others, and in our environment can cause much sorrow, mourning, and weep ing. But when one humbles himself before God, he will be blessed greatly and used effectively by Him. Voluntarily and truly humble yourself before God and "he shall lift you up.". -. It is foolish and tragic for anybody to presume to have control over the todays and the tomorrows of life. All should avoid the presumptuous attitude, which is so prevalent today, of planning for the future without due consideration being given to the will of God. A Christian is not justified in boasting about what he is going to do in the future. In verse fourteen we are reminded that life, like a vapor, is here for a very short period and then it vanishes or goes away. Since we are only passing through this world, let us spend each day in the service of our Lord. Instead of trying to control your life, yield it to Christ and let Him control it, and you will be glad that you did. From verse seventeen we learn that to know the Word of God is not enough; we must do what it teaches. This is perhaps the most striking verse in the Bible on the sin of omission. To know what is right and not to do it is sinful. Knowledge of God's will calls for the doing of it, otherwise we sin. It is very definitely our responsibility to live in ac cordance with God's expressed will. Doing so pleases God and results in our being blessed by Him in so many ways. A ground-breaking ceremony was held recently for Pools Grove Baptist Church Educational Building. The new building will house six classrooms, a pastor's council room, clerk's office, library, nursery, a boardroom, the Sunday School Superinten dent's office, public and private bathrooms, ladies' lounge, and a fully equipped kitchen.
