James 3

James lays the law down in Chapter 3! He really makes you reflect on what you say. He says, "But a tiny spark can set a great forest on fire. And the tongue is a flame of fire". Our words can be like a catalyst, eith in a good way or bad way. If it's in a bad way, it's really bad! If it's in a good, poistive way, it's really good! He lets us know that we need to keep ourselves in check on what we say.

It's crazy that what we say can affect people in so many ways. Thay's why I think with family or friends, it's always important to think about what you say before you let it come our of your mouth. You can never take words back. People may forgive you, but unlike God, they don't forget. Our words can really hurt people and damage realtionships. I'd like to think that I'm pretty good about watching what I say when I'm upset or angry. I like to keep in mind, "Never make an important decision in a heightened state of emotion." I think the same goes for my words.

In the last part of James 3, he tells us to be a good person. We shouldn't be selfish or jealous, and then try to hide that. He basically is telling us not to be fake. But instead to figure out what type of person we are, and if we need improvement, then improve!

Hebrews 12

Laura:
Hebrews 12 is really encouraging. The chapter starts out with, "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us. We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith". It's saying that it's okay to mess up and fail. God forgives and forgets. Even if sometimes it's hard for us to get over our mistakes, it's comforting knowing that God totally lets you start out with a new slate.

We are supposed to focus on Jesus, and not let anything else get in our way. No matter what we're going through, we can endure through God. Anytime we feel like giving up or losing faith, God can give us strength. The main key is to stay focused on Him, and we can overcome anything.

"No discipline is enjoyable while it is happening—it’s painful! But afterward there will be a peaceful harvest of right living for those who are trained in this way." This helps me to not give up. School is hard but when I give my best, the results are good. I just have to make sure I'm always giving my best. And in college, when I start to get overwhelmed with all the work and stress, I'll be able to think of this verse. After our last volleyball game Mr. Moland told us, "Finish what you start. Never give up, never quit, never wimp out. FINISH what you start". I'll keep that in my head throughout life, and I think I see where he got this from - Hebrews 12:11.

Hebrews

Emily:
Hebrews 12 is full of amazing words from God. It reminds us to strip off every weight and keep our eye completely on Jesus while running toward the prize. I love Hebrews 12:2, where it says how Jesus is the initiator of our faith. It says how Christ endured the cross and disregarding its shame. That now he is seated at a place of honor beside God's throne. It reminds us that God is treating us as His own children when He disciplines us and that if He did not discipline us then we would not be His real children. This just reminds us of how much we should submit to God when He disciplines us.
Hebrews 12:14 calls us to live a holy live, for those who are not holy will not see the Lord.

Emily: In Titus 3, Paul tells us that we must not slander anyone and avoid quarreling. He tells us to show true humilty to everyone. He reminds us that God revealed his kindness and love to us through his son, when he came and washed away our sins. He reminds us about our new life with Jesus Christ. And that he poured out his spirit on us through Jesus. Because of his grace, he declared us righteous and gave us the confidence of salvation.

Laura: Paul tells us to submit to authority. We must show humility. We aren't supposed to judge others. Paul says that no one has the right to cast judgement because we aren't holy either.

Joshua 24:15 - But as for me and my family, we will serve the Lord.
Galations 6:10 - Therefore, whenever we have the opportunity, we should do good to everyone - especially to those in the family of faith.
Ephesians 6:1 - Children, obey your parents because you belong to the Lord, for this is the right thing to do.
1 Peter 4:17 - For it is time for judgment to begin with the family of God; and if it begins with us, what will the outcome be for those who do not obey the gospel of God?
1 Timothy 3:4 - He must manage his own family well and see that his children obey him with proper respect.
All of these scriptures talk about respect for family and God's family. We should all show respect to both.


Emily:
Eph. 6:2-3- Honor your Father and Mother. This is the first commandment with a promise; if you honor your father and mother, "things will go well for you and you will have a long life on the earth."
1Peter 3:7- In the same way, you huspands must give honor to you wives. Treat your wife with understanding as you live together. She may be weaker than you are, but she is your equal partner in God's gift of new life.
Eph.5:22- For wives, this means to submit to your husbands as to the Lord.
Psalm 127:3 Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from him.
Proverb 17:17 A friend is always loyal, and a brother is born to help in time of need.
-Each of these scriptures describes a different relationship in the family, it shows how we should treat the members of our family. Not only now but also when we get married and have children. These are scriptures that all of us should take and apply to our lives.
