During February, we started our journey through the book of Acts. We studied the ascension of Jesus into the heavens and the manifestation of the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost. We studied the life of the apostle Peter and read the letter of James, which predates the other letters of the New Testament. Here is what some students had to say when interacting with the Word in the letter of James:
§ “When I face trials I should consider it “pure joy” because the testing of my faith “develops perseverance” and maturity. But when I am in a situation that is making me like giving up, I don’t have that joy; I don’t have that perspective. But I think if I just stop I might realize the purpose of that test.”
§ “If I stop wasting time with things that feed the flesh, I would spend my time wisely feeding my spirit, so that I could have enough strength to overpower the flesh”
§ “I need to submit myself to God wholeheartedly. Submission is sacrificing your soul and not just your body, as an act of spiritual worship.”
§ “In reading this passage (James 1: 19-27) I realized that knowing about God and His will is nothing if I don’t believe it enough to follow it entirely. Because when I do that I end up deceiving myself.”
