This week Maddy, Andrea, and Alyssa are reading James Ch.1:22-27.
22 But be doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. 23 Because if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man looking at his own face in a mirror. 24 For he looks at himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. 25 But the one who looks intently into the perfect law of freedom and perseveres in it, and is not a forgetful hearer but one who does good works—this person will be blessed in what he does.
26 If anyone thinks he is religious without controlling his tongue, then his religion is useless and he deceives himself. 27 Pure and undefiled religion before our God and Father is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself unstained by the world.
Here are our questions:
1.What would the world be like if everyone was a hearer instead of a doers?
2.What would the world be like if everyone was a doer instead as a doer ?
3.In verse 24 what does it mean to look at yourself and right away forgets what kind of man he is?
4.In verse 26 what does it mean by your religion being useless if you do not controll your tonue?
