Captain's Log:

It has been a couple of days, do not panic, I am back. We had our first basketball game last night and it did not go as well as expected. JV lost by about 49, which was not a good start. Varsity held on for three quarters and then all but Justin decided not to play anymore I guess, because they let the game get away from them. Also, an interesting thing happened right before the varsity game. The coach from the other team approached me and said, "Your guy (Bro. Jeff) is not going to do his play-by-play, is he?" My response was, "...Yes, he is..." Well, he came back and said that we could not do that because it is against the rules in the league bi-laws. Well, I perused the bi-laws three times tonight and could not find what he was talking about. Pastor was very angry and no he will be even more so, because the rule does not exist. Hmmm...

James 1:6-7

1:6 - But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed.

a. The key to this verse is that he or she that is praying must ask in faith, otherwise it means little.
b. If a person praying were to waver in his or her faith or is too fickle and does not believe God can do what he says, they will fail in their prayer.
c. He or she would be like a wave tossed in the sea, lost and confused.

1:7 - For let not that man think that he shall receive anything of the Lord.

a. This is referring to that man or women who has no faith when he or she prays.
b. This also refers to someone who is wavering in life.
c. If a person is not doing right, he or she will not get their prayers answered.
d. Also, God will not grant the wishes or prayers of someone who does not believe he can do them.

----------

That will be all for tonight.

Until then,

Lorimer
