James 1 | Doers of the Word | The Bible


Be doers of the word. James 1:19–27 19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.
26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion is vain.
27 Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.


He Is Risen (Music Video) | The Tabernacle Choir


  1. 1. He is risen! He is risen!

    Tell it out with joyful voice.

    He has burst his three days’ prison;

    Let the whole wide earth rejoice.

    Death is conquered; man is free.

    Christ has won the victory.

  2. 2. Come with high and holy hymning;

    Chant our Lord’s triumphant lay.

    Not one darksome cloud is dimming

    Yonder glorious morning ray,

    Breaking o’er the purple east,

    Symbol of our Easter feast.

  3. 3. He is risen! He is risen!

    He hath opened heaven’s gate.

    We are free from sin’s dark prison,

    Risen to a holier state.

    And a brighter Easter beam

    On our longing eyes shall stream.

  Prayer is a way to communicate with your Father in Heaven. Pray daily and sincerely.

 


 The Power of Prayer


HOW TO PRAY


The four steps of prayer include:

 

1. "Our Father in Heaven"

 

2. "I thank thee...." [Thank Him for specific blessings and things you are thankful for]

 

3. "I ask thee..."[Ask for His help. Plead with Him. Confide in Him. Talk with Him. 

Pour out your heart to Him. Tell Him how you really feel. Council with Him in allyour doings on any topic.  Ask Him to guide and direct you. Ask Him to bless and  

help other people and mention their specific names. Be completely honest and sincere  

with Him]

 

4. "In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen."

 



"All things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive."

(Matthew 21:22)

 

"Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe

that ye receive them, and ye shall have them." (Mark 11:24)

 

"With God all things are possible." (Matthew 19:26)

Acts 6 | The Martyrdom of Stephen | The Bible


The Apostles choose seven to assist them. Stephen is tried before the council. Acts 6 1 And in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration.
2 Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and said, It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables.
3 Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.
4 But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.
5 And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch:
6 Whom they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid their hands on them.
7 And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith.
8 And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people.
9 Then there arose certain of the synagogue, which is called the synagogue of the Libertines, and Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and of them of Cilicia and of Asia, disputing with Stephen.
10 And they were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by which he spake.
11 Then they suborned men, which said, We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses, and against God.
12 And they stirred up the people, and the elders, and the scribes, and came upon him, and caught him, and brought him to the council,
13 And set up false witnesses, which said, This man ceaseth not to speak blasphemous words against this holy place, and the law:
14 For we have heard him say, that this Jesus of Nazareth shall destroy this place, and shall change the customs which Moses delivered us.
15 And all that sat in the council, looking steadfastly on him, saw his face as it had been the face of an angel.

Attend church every week wherever you are. Live with faith, hope and charity. Exercise confidence. Demonstrate optimism. Be positive. Look inward: listen to that still, small, inner voice and follow it-your conscience-your internal compass-your personal GPS-your best friend and counselor. “Every day is a good day if you pray” (Dr. Norman Vincent Peale). “A thorough knowledge of the Bible is worth more than a college education” (Theodore Roosevelt).


2) THE LAW OF CHARACTER: Be a CTR  Person Always 100% 24/7: Always Choose the Right or Nothing. Stay on the CTR path forever. Remember that character matters most.

Be loyal. Be enthusiastic. Serve others. Smile. Show courage. Work harder than anyone else. Be a high achiever.   “Character Matters Most” (Dale Murphy). 


3) THE LAW OF HEALTH: Seek a Healthy Lifestyle: Nourish your body, mind, and spirit. Avoid drugs, alcohol, and tobacco products. Exercise regularly. Diet wisely. Maintain proper weight. Self-talk positively. Feed your spirit through praying, meditating, pondering, and writing. “A wise man ought to realize that health is his most valuable possession" (Hippocrates).


4) THE LAW OF FINANCES: Live Within Your Means: First-Pay 10% of your gross income to your church. Avoid debt except perhaps for a home, a car, and education. Budget. Be thrifty. Invest wisely. Forget about  the so-called “Get Rich” and pyramid schemes. Use credit cards wisely and pay them off monthly.  Pay your taxes honestly. “To increase your income, increase your service to others because our rewards in life will always be in exact proportion to our contribution, our service” (Earl Nightingale).


5) THE LAW OF LEARNING: Get as Much Education as You Can--Formal and Informal: Train your mind. Qualify yourself to be of valuable service to others. Be wise. Learn. Read. Observe. Think. Study. Strategize. Create. Analyze. Reflect. Evaluate. Collaborate. Teach. “Education is the latch key to success in life” Gordon B. Hinckley). “Knowledge makes you into a more valuable person. The more knowledge you have, the more people need you. When people need you, they pay you, so you’ll be okay in life” (Dr. Ben Carson).


6) THE LAW OF HONESTY: Live Honestly: Communicate the truth. Be true. Be trustworthy. Be dependable. Keep your promises. Be perfectly honest and upright in all things at all times. “Honesty is the best policy” (Mark Twain).


7) THE LAW OF CAREERS: Choose an Honorable Profession, one that you Love, and one that you are really interested in: Work hard for a good, honest living. Strive to become the best you can be. Don’t try to be the best-just the best YOU can be. Improve constantly. Let your high quality workmanship speak for itself. Regardless of your careers, be perfectly honest in all things. Don’t chase after money. “Do what you love, and the money will follow” (Marsha Sinetar).


8) THE LAW OF SETTING AND ACHIEVING GOALS: Set Worthy Goals: Set Big Goals. Focus or fail. Avoid complacency. Follow your passions. Aim high. Visualize. Look Forward. Choose wisely.   Joyfully anticipate. Be industrious. Persist always. Plan your life. Accept  responsibility for your life-who you are and who and what you become. Don’t blame others. “A man without a goal is like a ship without a rudder” (Thomas Carlyle). 


9) THE LAW OF MARRIAGE: Marry Properly: Marry the right person at the right time at the right place for the right reasons by the right authority.  Seek to make and to maintain a happy and loving family-a CTR family. Be loyal to your spouse and children. Be morally clean.  Each day return home with honor. Listen to understand. Enjoy the journey. Seek the happy life together. “Husbands and wives who love each other will find that love and loyalty are reciprocated” (Ezra Taft Benson). 


10) THE LAW OF GRATITUDE: Be Humble and Grateful: Make gratitude your attitude. Show your gratitude by expressing it, by developing and sharing your talents and skills, by improving yourself, by giving compliments, by giving appreciation. Give credit where it is due.  Acknowledge others. Cultivate the “Thank You” habit. Count your many blessings, name them one by one and see what God has done” (Johnson Oatman, Jr. ) 


11) THE LAW OF GOODNESS: Live the Good Life. Do Good-Be Good-Feel Good: Do all the good you can every day. Since character matters most, make having a good character your top priority. “Goodness is the only investment that never fails.” (Henry David Thoreau). When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad” (Abraham Lincoln). “Not life, but good life, is to be chiefly valued” (Socrates).


12) THE LAW OF SERVICE: Love, Serve, and do good to others. Look outward to others. Use your skills, knowledge and talents to help others be happy and successful. Help the poor, needy, sick, and afflicted. Pass CTR forward-teach others to be CTR people. “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you” (The Golden Rule by Jesus Christ).


DO GOOD --- BE GOOD --- FEEL GOOD


Obey the 12 Laws, and you will enjoy life at its best.

I care about you!

"Do the Right Thing"
Do the right thing, do the right thing
Do it all the time, do it all the time
Make yourself right, never mind them
Don't you know you're not the only one suffering

Do the right thing, do the right thing
Do it all the time, do it all the time
Make yourself right, never mind them
Don't you know you're not the only one suffering

Do the right thing, do the right thing
Do it all the time, do it all the time
Make yourself right, never mind them
Don't you know you're not the only one suffering

I see you up again wandering so diligent
Crossing your t's as though it weren't irrelevant
They say formality, this is what they really meant:
They can be the walk, and we can be the pavement.

Do the right thing, do the right thing
Do it all the time, do it all the time
Make yourself right, never mind them
Don't you know you're not the only one suffering

So what you're up against, all the disingenuous
They wave you along and say there's always room for us
But we know better than that to take 'em serious
Still don't let 'em make you bitter in the process

And when the light is up, this is how oughta be (do the right thing)
We'll make it alright, they'll come around eventually (do it all the time)
They say it's nothing but that ain't the reality (do it all the time)
They may take us on but they can never take us easy

And they ain't moving, they're just moving around
So if you love yourself, you better get out
Get out, get out, get out now

Do the right thing, do the right thing (do the right thing)
Do it all the time, do it all the time (do it all the time)
Make yourself right, never mind them (do it all the time)
Don't you know you're not the only one suffering

(I hear a higher calling)
Do the right thing, do the right thing (do the right thing)
(Better here than there I guess)
Do it all the time, do it all the time (do it all the time)
(So long)
Make yourself right, never mind them (do it all the time)
(So long)
Don't you know you're not the only one suffering

(I hear a higher calling)
Do the right thing, do the right thing (do the right thing)
(Better here than there I guess)
Do it all the time, do it all the time (do it all the time)
(So long)
Make yourself right, never mind them (do it all the time)
(So long)
Don't you know you're not the only one suffering

(I hear a higher calling)
Do the right thing, do the right thing (do the right thing)
(Better here than there I guess)
Do it all the time, do it all the time (do it all the time)
(So long)
Make yourself right, never mind them (do it all the time)
(So long)
Don't you know you're not the only one suffering

(I hear a higher calling)
Do the right thing, do the right thing (do the right thing)
(Better here than there I guess)
Do it all the time, do it all the time (do it all the time)
(So long)
Make yourself right, never mind them (do it all the time)
(So long)
Don't you know you're not the only one suffering

(I hear a higher calling)
Do the right thing, do the right thing (do the right thing)
(Better here than there I guess)
Do it all the time, do it all the time (do it all the time)
(So long)
Make yourself right, never mind them (do it all the time)

Don't you know you're not the only one suffering

(I hear a higher calling)
Do the right thing, do the right thing (do the right thing)
(Better here than there I guess)
Do it all the time, do it all the time (do it all the time)
