Join me, Alison Elizabeth as we read out of James 1:27 which says "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world."
"But what we most realize what is the pure and faultless “religion” referred to in this text. There are two. The first instruction is to look after those who need help, in their distress. We are to provide for those who need providing. Today we can find people who need help everywhere. We find orphans and widows, but we also find these people in the foster systems, in homes with abusive or addicted parents, we find them in those with disabilities, and in centers where extra assistance is needed.
The second instruction was to keep oneself from being polluted by the world. This is hard in today’s climate. One session on IG and you can become instantly enraged, or overcome with negative emotion. You could read the news and think awful things. You could fight your neighbors and even family members on difference of opinion. Beyond that, you could get in with a group of friends that moves you further away from your creator and closer to man created idols. That is all a result of being polluted by the world.
Our prayer today should be for Jesus to bring us to people we can help and impact but to also keep ourselves pure from pollution. Hold on to the fruit of the spirit. Hold on to the promise of God"
