Silencing The Critics
When we criticize or judge others we hurt one another, we are judging the Law, we are playing 'god' and exalting ourselves. James makes it very clear that as believers, we are not to speak evil against one another and that there is only one Judge and Lawgiver.

Love does no wrong
If we’re in love, we do no wrong, if we do wrong, we’re not in love. Our fight is not with flesh and blood, or in other words, people. We are to fight the good fight against the devil and all his demons. We are to love people, no matter what they do to us. Love places no demands of anyone other than itself. Love takes the first step. God has given us the love necessary to love like this. Love does for others regardless of what they can do for us. We owe everyone to love them.

Psalm 1: Immersed
Psalm 1 speaks of happy people who delight themselves in the law of God. The Psalm writer says these people are like trees planted near living water. In his sermon, Pastor Jason reminds us of what Jesus says are the two greatest commandments: to love God and to love your neighbor. If we delight ourselves in God's law, focusing on these two central commandments, we will be immersed in God's living water--a source for our continued outreach and compassion to others.

What Kind of Neighbor are You?
The story of the Good Samaritan is very well-known. But have you ever considered why the priest and Levite did not stop to help one of their fellow Jews? What would you have done? We all tend to apply "labels" to various groups of people, but God wants us to get rid of our labeling system.
