“If you are a theologian you truly pray. If you truly pray you are a theologian.” Evagrius Ponticus

♦ Psalms 91

♦ James 5:1-20

♦ John 7:25-40

May God, who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food, supply and multiply our seed for sowing and increase the harvest of our righteousness. Amen.

 ¹ Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High 
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. 
² I will say of the LORD, “He is my refuge and my fortress, 
my God, in whom I trust.”

 ¹⁴ “Because he loves me,” says the LORD, “I will rescue him; 
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name. 
¹⁵ He will call on me, and I will answer him; 
I will be with him in trouble, 
I will deliver him and honor him. 
¹⁶ With long life I will satisfy him 
and show him my salvation.” Psalm 91

I wonder if anyone of my generation, nationality, gender, race, and religious affinity feels convicted after reading the words of James (James 5:1-6). Scary stuff. I think many of us should be scared, but we’re far too arrogant for us to fear.
