James Meyers, III considers the Third Commandment, first as following the Second, then proceeding with a more encompassing interpretation of what it is to take the name of the Lord God in vain. According to James, this Commandment is typically viewed as something fairly shallow, but he hopes to show its profound depths.
James Meyers, III briefly considers the sanctions and the rewards which are found in obeying or disobeying the second commandment. Are curses and blessings generational? James considers this and how the Roman Catholic Church teaches the veneration of the saints. It is our opinion that though She makes distinctions which avoid idolatry, it is a distinction without a difference. However, our intention is not to condemn Rome, but to e...
Before diving into a deeper consideration of the second commandment in our next session, James Meyers, III discusses how we see humanity in light of being made in the image and likeness of God. Do the fallen bear this image? James considers this and more in this session.
In this session, James Meyers, III considers the first and the second commandments together before discussing the second in particular. As Paul warned the Athenians on Mars Hill against superstition, he goes on to declare why it is not only vain, but woefully sinful and self defeating.
James Meyers, III considers the first commandment as is found in the Reformed faith. Whatever one’s order may be regarding the order of the Decalogue, we would be wise to recognize, in humility and reverence, this blessed Command precedes all the others because all of the others would be utterly bereft of meaning without it.
James Meyers, III considers Calvin’s third use of God’s Law, namely, as revelation.
James Meyers, III considers the profundity and application of the prologue to the Decalogue, or the Ten Commandments. There are a variety of views as to the order of the Commandments James briefly reviews some before giving the Reformed position. He, also, discusses how the Law is to be used as a restraint for the Christian.
James Meyers, III considers the first office or usage of the law of God as John Calvin defined as a mirror which reflects the nature of God and how it convicts the Christian toward Holiness.
James Meyers, III begins a new series regarding the Law and how it applies to the Christian. Today, he introduces the subject by citing Old Testament passages before considering what the apostle Paul said in the third chapter in Galatians. In our age, it would seem there are only two positions: antinomianism or legalism. James Meyers, III says a pox on both those houses. Through this series, we hope you gain a new appreciation for ...
James Meyers, III considers the stark warning of St. James found in the first half of his fifth chapter. St. James draws his readers into a great exhortation toward endurance which is a blessing from God in His divine and sovereign will. However, he uses an unlikely example, the suffering Job, who does not appear very patient at first glance. James Meyers discusses how we can be encouraged by what St. James says about this intrigui...
James Meyers, III concludes our consideration of the Epistle of James by discussing what is written about the veracity and trustworthiness of our word, which is very reflective of what Christ said. All of this blessed letter has led to this wonderful conclusion which is precipitated by a most striking qualifier: “Above all.” When the great apostle gives such a call to attention, we ought to give such greater attention. James Meyers...
James Meyers, III gives a brief overview of certain philosophical systems which pervade our age and even the Church, in particular in the realm of how we view time. James considers this as a preliminary message going into the concluding passage found in the fourth chapter of the Epistle of St. James.
James Meyers, III considers what St. James said rebuking presumptive and boastful planning. While planning is not itself inherently evil, when done outside the confines of God’s will, it is arrogant and therefore, sinful, as St. James concludes the fourth chapter. James discusses some historical secular ideas which tend to emerge even within the Christian conscience. The Christian worldview is one which is seen within an eternal ti...
James Meyers, III considers what St. James said about the infighting which sadly takes place within the church. While conflicts have raged since the beginning, it is incongruous that the Church should reflect the battles waged in the world. All such strife are children of pride and envy; but God gives grace to the humble.
James Meyers, III considers what St. James said regarding how to overcome the world. As Christ has overcome the world, even so, we are thus equipped to overcome as well. This is done through a true submission to God, a relentless resistance to the devil, and an ever humbly repentant heart seeking God’s forgiveness and lifting us nearer to Him.
James Meyers, III considers what St. James said regarding wisdom which is found in the third chapter of his epistle. There is, indeed, a wisdom of this world which is to be distinguished from the wisdom which is of heaven, which is another way of saying wisdom which is from God. Wisdom sown from above reaps good fruits, while wisdom from below reaps bad works.
James Meyers, III discusses the intramural quarrels within the church which, as St. James said in his fourth chapter, proceed from a lack of wisdom which spawns humility. Such wisdom is to be faithfully requested from God as St. James mentioned in 1:5-8, concluding with what such double-mindedness brings; namely, a chaotic storm of frustration and folly.
James Meyers, III continues to consider what St. James says in the third chapter of his epistle about the extensive and potentially disastrous effects it can have. Using vivid illustrations, he illuminates the terrible ruin words can cause to their recipients. Even so, while this is a stark warning to the church at large, it is well for every Christian to pray for their preachers and teachers in particular, to ground them in the in...
James Meyers, III considers what St. James says in his epistle about the nature and charge of teaching in the ministry of the church and such as should not be taken lightly. James discusses how influential communication has been, is, and ever shall be and thus, must be regarded for how our communication influences ourselves and others and how others’ communication influences us. As Christ said, out of the heart, the mouth speaks, b...
James Meyers, III concludes our consideration of James 2:14-26 by discussing the examples which St. James cites: namely, Abraham and Rahab. Upon reflecting these two disparate saints of God, James further illustrates these two blessed individuals are not merely examples of living faith, but are ancestors of our Lord Jesus Christ. With Christmas approaching, we are encouraged to see the deeds we do in faith are done in the incarnate...
