Which One Defines Us?

James 1:22-24 - "Don't fool yourself into thinking that you are a listener when you are anything but, letting the Word go in one ear and out the other. Act on what you hear! Those who hear and don't act are like those who glance in the mirror, walk away, and two minutes later have no idea who they are, what they look like." [The Message]

James 1:26-27 - "Anyone who sets himself up as "religious" by talking a good game is self-deceived. This kind of religion is hot air and only hot air. Real religion, the kind that passes muster before God the Father, is this: Reach out to the homeless and loveless in their plight, and guard against corruption from the godless world." [The Message]

  7. What a great cartoon to express how we so often act as if we think we are supposed to act but have no heart behind it. That is what the law will do, but Jesus changes our hear into one like His. Thanks for sharing this Rosel.

  10. The scriptures are wonderful, the You Tube has a profound message and that last quote about the hard boiled egg made me smile. The message is loud and clear...we need to act like Jesus in a fallen world. Love it!

  12. Rosel,
    Just stopping by to say I am thinking of you today. I would love to have your e-mail address, so we can communicate more often.
    Thank you for your prayers. I am remembering you and your husband as I lift you two up to Our Holy Savior. You both work in dangerous jobs and I appreciate all you do.
    Your sister in Christ,

  13. My Dear Sweet Sister Rosel,

    Every one loves you! You are complete love in action, word and deed at all times. I couldn't have commented any better then what Loren said above. She spoke from her heart and her words are exactly how I feel about you too. This was an awesome post and the video was a great illustration to go along with it.

    You are an amazing woman and you truly do blog for Him, all for His glory. He uses you in such a mighty way Rosel. You always touch me deeply in my heart and are such an encouragement and inspiration not only to me, but to every one that you know and meet. Every one of your postings reaches out and touches each one of us and I thank you for that.

    I love you dear sister. I truly do.

    Hugs, Blessings & One Big Kiss on the forehead to you,
    Alleluiabelle
