Show no partiality as you adhere to the faith
in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ.
JAMES 2:1
If a man with gold rings and fine clothes comes into your assembly, and a poor person in shabby clothes also comes in, and you pay attention to the one wearing the fine clothes and say, “Sit here, please,” while you say to the poor one, “Stand there,” or “Sit at my feet,” have you not made distinctions among yourselves and become judges with evil designs? (Jas 2:2-4)
Jesus said, “I ask you, is it lawful to do good on the sabbath rather than to do evil, to save life rather than to destroy it?” Looking around at them all, He then said to him, “Stretch out your hand.” He did so and his hand was restored. (Luke 6:9-10) “Have you not read what David did when he and those who were with him were hungry? How he went into the house of God, took the bread of offering, which only the priests could lawfully eat, ate of it, and shared it with his companions.” Then He said to them, “The Son of Man is lord of the sabbath.” (Lk 6:3-5)
Did not God choose those who are poor in the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom that He promised to those who love Him? (Jas 2:5) You are inflated with pride. Your boasting is not appropriate. (1 Cor 5:2,6). Learn not to go beyond what is written, so that none of you will be inflated with pride (1 Cor 4:6). Clear out the old so that you may become fresh (1 Cor 5:7). Celebrate the feast, not with the old yeast of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. (1 Cor 5:8).
The Lord keeps all who love Him, but all the wicked He will destroy (Ps 145:20). The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth. He fulfills the desire of those who fear Him, He hears their cry and saves them. (Ps 145:18-19)
Lord Jesus, I know who You are—the Holy One of God! (Lk 4:34). You, O God, delight not in wickedness; no evil man remains with You; the arrogant may not stand in Your sight. You hate all evildoers. You destroy all who speak falsehood; the bloodthirsty and the deceitful the Lord abhors. (Ps 5:5-7) But let all who take refuge in You be glad and exult forever. Protect them, that You may be the joy of those who love Your name. (Ps 5:12).
