Introducing Sophia Proton

Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
(James 3:13-18) KJV

Preparing sermons is something that shouldn’t be taken lightly. On one hand, if you’re a real, Holy Spirit called preacher, you’re already prepared. If you find yourself in front of a group of people you start preaching.

Desires of Thine Heart

Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.
Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.
(Psalms 37:4-5) KJV

Can a desire of the heart be a godly thing? How can we have a godly desire if we’re told a) not to covet and b) that our optimal state of mind should be contentment?

Meekness of Wisdom

Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good conduct let him show his works in the meekness of wisdom. But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth. This is not the wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice. But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere. And a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.
(James 3:13-18) ESV

We’ve been thinking about being meek. Probably because we don’t think that we are very meek. Meek isn’t a bad thing. Definitions of meek seem to miss the point.
