James 3 LACEY

James 3 talks about taming the tongue. We should choose all of our words carefully, especially Christians. We should use our tongue to rejoice in God's greatness. This teaches me not to say one thign and then another that means the complete opposite. Christians words are judge more than nonChristians because we are supposed to be a example to them.
James 3 also talks about the two kinds of wisdom. When we have selfish ambition in our hearts we are showing earthly wisdom. The wisdom from heaven is pure. We should have pure wisdom and show it to others. If we have earthly wisdom we show envy and disorder.
James 3 explains how we should not speak good of the Lord and then curse men. The scripture that stuck out to me was James 11. "Can both fresh water and salt[a] water flow from the same spring?" No man can tame the tongue only God. It is evil and full of deadly poison. God can only heal our tongue we must go to him.

James

Rachel: James, chapter 3, is the chapter that deals with taming the tongue and wisdom. the first parts about taming the tongue, explains that if a person controls his mouth he will have control over is entire body and vice versa. I mouth of the horse and the mouth of the human are both the deciding factor on what is in charge of your respective bodies. If a man controls what comes out of his mouth then he will have control over everything. A man who controls his mouth will never sin and will be perfect. the man that controls the mouth of his horse can control everything the horse does, whether it be running, turning or bucking. the one, whether God or Satan, that controls your mouth will rule your life.
The Second part of the chapter deals with tow types of wisdom. The first type of Wisdom is the form that comes for the God Most High. this wisdom comes from heaven and is pure, holy and considerate. This is the wisdom that the peacemakers have and strive for.
The second type of wisdom is the kind that harbors revenge, selfish ambition and pride. This type is harmful to you and those around you. It is earthly, unspiritual, and of the devil. if you horde this wisdom you will have discord and evil practice flowing through your life.

Hebrews

Rachel:
The 12th chapter of Hebrews talks about the Discipline that God gives his children and the correct way that a father it to discipline his children. He tells us to fix our eyes upon him in order to stay the course. James goes on to talk about how a father only disciplines his children in love. If a father doesn't correct his sons he does not love them and is not following his duty that God has set before him to be preformed with all of his ability.
The verse that stood out to me the most is the fourteenth verse. "Make every effort to live in peace with all men and be holy." I do not have the gift of sympathy and patience and they are two fruits of the spirit that I have to work hard to achieve. I falter and get upset at others and destroy the peace that was there. that verse is an encouragement to me to keep on towards that goal and the finish line as not to fail in my duty to the LORD. "For blessed are the peacemakers for they shall inherit the Kingdom to God."
The whole chapter is a block on which to build upon on listening to the Spirit of God convicting you. He goes over the consequences and punishment that will be inflicted if you refuse to do what GOD was ordained you to do.


Lacey
Hebrews 12 talks about God disciplining his sons. God talks about how he disciplines the ones he loves. This means that we should not be angry at our authority when they discipline us. They are just showing that they love us and want what's best. We should endure all hardship as discipline, because God is treating us as sons.
Hebrews 12 also talks about warning against refusing God. We should make all effort to live in peace with everyone. We should be a example to fellow Christians. We should be obedient to anyone who speaks of God. We should be very thankful for everything God gives us.
Hebrews 12 talks about good life lessons. That we should remind ourselves daily. God loves us and so do our parents there discipline is showing their love. This also says how God should be our encourage meant daily. This is my favorite scripture from Hebrews 12 " 11 No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it."

Lacey:
Titus 3 talks about doing what is good. He talks about how we should remind people to be obedient. And that we should always be respectful and ready to do good. We should also avoid foolish controversies and pointless aqguments. They are just foolish and cause sin so we should not be a part of that. As a Christian we should stand out and be a example.

Paul uses an example that would be quite familiar with the people in this place and time about the olympic runners. The runner will race for the insubastial prize and give his all in training and in the race to get it. How much more do we as Christians have to give when our prize is eternal as oppposed to a wreath of celery? Paul knows that the people will respond to this allegory and he uses it to speak to the people on their level.

We cant get detracted in our Christian walk with Christ we must ignore the discrations just like the runner ignore the corwds that are creering him on or booing him down. We also must bypass the devil's plans to twart us from reaching our goal. The prize for which we run in eternal life and that is the end goal for all believers and non- alike. This verse is an inspiration to all people in all things, not just our walk with Jesus.

Hērōdēs
Herod = "heroic"

1) the name of a royal family that flourished among the Jews in the times of Christ and the Apostles. Herod the Great was the son of Antipater of Idumaea. Appointed king of Judaea B.C. 40 by the Roman Senate at the suggestion of Antony and with the consent of Octavian, he at length overcame the great opposition which the country made to him and took possession of the kingdom B.C. 37; and after the battle of Actium, he was confirmed by Octavian, whose favour he ever enjoyed. He was brave and skilled in war, learned and sagacious; but also extremely suspicious and cruel. Hence he destroyed the entire royal family of Hasmonaeans, put to death many of the Jews that opposed his government, and proceeded to kill even his dearly beloved wife Mariamne of the Hasmonaean line and his two sons she had borne him. By these acts of bloodshed, and especially by his love and imitation of Roman customs and institutions and by the burdensome taxes imposed upon his subjects, he so alienated the Jews that he was unable to regain their favour by his splendid restoration of the temple and other acts of munificence. He died in the 70th year of his age, the 37th year of his reign, the 4th before the Dionysian era. In his closing years John the Baptist and Christ were born; Matthew narrates that he commanded all the male children under two years old in Bethlehem to be slain.

2) Herod surnamed "Antipas", was the son of Herod the Great and Malthace, a Samaritan woman. After the death of his father he was appointed by the Romans tetrarch of Galilee and Peraea. His first wife was the daughter of Aretas, king of Arabia; but he subsequently repudiated her and took to himself Herodias, the wife of his brother Herod Philip; and in consequence Aretas, his father-in-law, made war against him and conquered him. He cast John the Baptist into prison because John had rebuked him for this unlawful connection; and afterwards, at the instigation of Herodias, he ordered him to be beheaded. Induced by her, too, he went to Rome to obtain from the emperor the title of king. But in consequence of the accusations brought against him by Herod Agrippa I, Caligula banished him (A.D. 39) to Lugdunum in Gaul, where he seems to have died. He was light minded, sensual and vicious.

3) Herod Agrippa I was the son of Aristobulus and Berenice, and grandson of Herod the Great. After various changes in fortune, he gained the favour of Caligula and Claudius to such a degree that he gradually obtained the government of all of Palestine, with the title of king. He died at Caesarea, A.D. 44, at the age of 54, in the seventh [or the 4th, reckoning from the extension of his dominions by Claudius] year of his reign, just after having ordered James the apostle, son of Zebedee, to be slain, and Peter to be cast into prison: Acts 12:21

4) (Herod) Agrippa II, son of Herod Agrippa I. When his father died he was a youth of seventeen. In A.D. 48 he received from Claudius Caesar the government of Chalcis, with the right of appointing the Jewish high priests, together with the care and oversight of the temple at Jerusalem. Four years later Claudius took from him Chalcis and gave him instead a larger domain, of Batanaea, Trachonitis, and Gaulanitis, with the title of king. To those reigns Nero, in A.D. 53, added Tiberias and Taricheae and Peraean Julias, with fourteen neighbouring villages. He is mentioned in Acts 25 and 26. In the Jewish war, although he strove in vain to restrain the fury of the seditious and bellicose populace, he did not desert to the Roman side. After the fall of Jerusalem, he was vested with praetorian rank and kept the kingdom entire until his death, which took place in the third year of the emperor Trajan, [the 73rd year of his life, and the 52nd of his reign] He was the last representative of the Herodian dynasty.

I should be a influence on my family and be a encouragement.



1 TI 3:4

assignment 3, five verses on family-rachel

Genesis 18:19 "For I have chosen him, so that he will direct his children and his household after him to keep the way of the LORD by doing what is right and just, so that the LORD will bring about for Abraham what he has promised him."

This verse is about the father instructing his children. I follow this verse by not being a stumbling block to my father by not receiving his instructions.

Deuteronomy 4:10 Remember the day you stood before the LORD your God at Horeb, when he said to me, "Assemble the people before me to hear my words so that they may learn to revere me as long as they live in the land and may teach them to their children."

When I, eventually, have a family I will bring them up in the ways of the LORD like my parents before me.

Psalms 133:1 "How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity!

I strive to live in peace and tranquility with my siblings. It is hard, but that is what I, my parents, and more importantly my God, desire for me to do.

Acts 10:2 He and all his family were devout and God-fearing; he gave generously to those in need and prayed to God regularly.

I follow my father's example in faithfulness to the LORD Most High.

Ephesians 5:4 He must manage his own family well and see that his children obey him with proper respect

To be a good leader for Christ I must obey my father. What kind to example would I be setting to my fellow students if I did not even do the mundane tasks that are laid out for me with a good attitude? What kind of example would HE be setting for the other leaders of our church and those he came into contact with if his own daughter did not obey, respect and honor him and his wife? I will not be the cause of somebody not excepting salvation be cause the person he was being a witness to did not respect him enough to listen to what he had to say because his daughter would not honor him properly.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All of these verses describe the family and how they will work right if the family obeys the proper authority and honors them. the children and wife summit to the man of the house, whether it be husband, father, or firstborn son in the case of death of the father.
It is only when the correct family authority is obeyed that the rest of the church congregation will respect the family has a whole.
Family is also God's great gift to us. As girls, it is our dream to have a husband and children. As children of our parents, we all have the responsibility to honor them for as long as we live even if they are not always right. The family takes care of each other when the going get tough. Death, sickness, and financial and emotional problems are just some of the things that family was designed to help comfort through.

Honor?

HONOR-honesty, fairness, or integrity in one's beliefs and actions: a man of honor.
