James 3:8-18

Be pure, be real
There must be a desire for wisdom from above for purity to be real.
- There must be an inward purity
Be pure even in those things you do not want to be honest in.
Be honest in all things to be pure.
There should be a desire in your heart to be pure.
You are in a fight against those things that are not pure.
You are weak because your joy is small.
There is no joy in your life if there is no purity.
In order to make it for god there has to be purity on the inside.
If you’re pure on the inside, you’ll be pure on the outside.
There needs to be inward cleaning.
Don’t live your life to be a show off to others. Live pure and others will see it.
You are trying to do and do, but not taking the time to deal with your inward man.
You know what is in your life that is not pure, but you don’t want to make it right.
You’re impurity will eventually bleed through in your life.
If your heart isn’t pure you can only look the part.
- Pure on the outside.
You are living in such a perverted world today.
Demonic oppression is on every hand.
You are skipping the heart problem, the part that does not need to be skipped.
Be peaceable. Living in peace and promoting peace should be the guideline of a Christian’s life.
No peaceful relationship with God if there is no purity in your life, and you’re not on the same page as God.
You can’t have peace with others if there is no peace between you and God.
Promote peace in your life.
A person that wants to be close to God, they will fight for peace and purity in their life.
- It’s gentle.
It’s mild, it’s fair.
You can’t be fair if you’re not pure.
This life is created from the first point.
Purity does not make you have a bad attitude.
You’ll be a gentleman.
There can be no unity if there is no purity.
Just as close as you get to God, you can get that far away, but you have to get back to point 1. Have to clean up your life.
Get purity in your heart and there will be peace and gentleness in your life.
- Easy to be intreated.
Get purity and people can tell you how you’re going wrong in your life.
You’ll be able to take that you are doing wrong, or living wrong.
It’s listening and pondering what was said, and being obedient.
Let the words come in whether you understand it or not.
