Negative Commands for a Positive Life
Manage episode 438002021 series 2461314
Sometimes parents will tell their children not to do certain things. But such prohibitions are motivated by love. These negative commands are to ensure a positive outcome. A good biblical example of this is the list of thou shalt nots in the Ten Commandments. In this section, James gives his audience a few negative instructions so they can have a positive life.
I. Do Not Grumble
II. Do Not Back Down
III. Do Not Give Up
IV. Do Not Speak Hastily
Talk with God: Meditate on 1 John 2:5-6 and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal areas of your life that don’t reflect your love for the Lord.
Talk with others: Ask a friend or member of your Connect Group how you can pray for them as they seek to align their lives to God’s Word.
Talk with kids: What were the believers doing while Peter was in prison?
