Last lesson was called: “A Minefield In A Mind Field” and we discovered that the enemies of God and His Word are always implanting as it were, “explosive mines” of ungodly concepts that can blow up and bring destruction, anxiety, doubt, uncertainty, etc. and destroy our faith in God’s promises, for our lives.
Today’s lesson is a sequel to this train of thought which will teach us to continue to be ” “Standing With God In A World Of Misunderstanding”

New Testament Scripture Reading: James 1:16 – 22 (KJV)
Jas 1:16 Do not err, my beloved brethren.
Jas 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
Jas 1:18 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.
Jas 1:19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
Jas 1:20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
Jas 1:21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
Jas 1:22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
