Quick to Listen - James 1:19

So that, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath

Could we take the words "quick to listen" to first mean listening to the Lord? Of course in conversation and fellowship we need to be quick to listen and slow to speak, but how does that help you be "slow to wrath"? The more you listen, the angrier you become in many cases.

But if while listening, you hear the Lord first, then afterward, by the Spirit of God, your words will be as "oracles of God" and your heart will be "after God's heart." There is still room for anger occasionally, but it comes very slow. In front of righteous anger, there is patience and mercy.

An Outline of Romans—From Faith To Faith

I've recently picked up studying Romans again and found this old outline that I had scratched down maybe 15 years ago. It was refreshing for me to see and was not something that I had seen in a commentary or heard in a message.

God Has Spoken Series

Question: Where can I get the audio messages of Stephen Kaung's God Has Spoken series? If I could recommend only one book or series by Stephen Kaung it would be his God Has Spoken series. He shared a message for each book of the Bible, giving a simple overview and revealing the way to find Christ as you read. It is not only his classic set but it's His way with the Scriptures. Our brother could always find Christ and find Him as He's meant to be found. For a new believer and an old believer, this is the first set to have as guide through the Bible and a reference set to go back to later on. Below are links to each of the original messages. Old Testament Introduction to the Old Testament Genesis -The Will of God Exodus -The Works of God Leviticus - The Ways of God Numbers -The Walk of God Deuteronomy - The Word of God Joshua - Possessing the Land Judges - Possessing all the Possessions Ruth - Recovery of the Inheritance I Samuel - Epoch-...
