Last Tuesday night it was cold, cold, and cold. It was more than cold, it was freezing. The temperature on the sign across the street from Triune registered 23 degrees. With the wind chill factor, I am sure it was probably in the teens. With a night like this there is no doubt there will be many coming in to get warm but I always wonder if we will have enough volunteers. However, I was surprised to have a small group from our church to show up to volunteer. Along with the regulars, we had 20 volunteers to help make one very large pot and two small pots of coffee, and serve 90 hot meals.
Paul continued teaching in the book of James. He focused on verse 5 that states that if you lack wisdom ask God and He will give it to us liberally. That should appeal to everyone because we all desire wisdom. But Paul pointed out that this wisdom is not of this world He defined wisdom in I Corinthians 1:30 that Christ Jesus is the wisdom from God. And God gave that wisdom liberally to the world by giving up his Son to die and take the punishment for our sins.
During Paul’s teaching, there was some distraction from a few who were not interested in his message but were interested settling an argument that probably started before they arrived. Paul immediately asks them to leave. It was amazing that even these guys are respectful enough to leave. Most are very respectful and listen but there are always a few that will distract the message because of their own agenda.
