In God We Trust

Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; —James 1:19

A lot is happening in our world today. It is difficult not to make a judgment on our friends, family members, and neighbors. In today’s verse, James teaches believers to “be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger.” James is not saying that we should not speak up, nor all anger is sinful. However, we often get angry and speak up when our ego is damaged, such as when others ignore our opinion or disagree with us. Our actions often reflect a lack of trust in God.

The Well Church, as God’s children, let us trust in God and listen to others, especially those who have different views than we do. Let us continue to live out our faith by loving God and our neighbors.
