Wisdom for a Blue Jean Faith (Week 5 Memory Verse)
“For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.”
I don’t have a green thumb. I know little about plants at all. What I do know is the obvious—when the plant is dead, there are no flowers or fruit of any kind. I have lots of experience with dead plants! When the plant is alive and healthy, it produces something!
James says that faith is like a plant. Faith that is truly alive produces something! The evidence is there!

Specific types of questions included in each day’s work:
1. Sharing Questions are designed for you to write stories, insights, and applications from your own life. You will never be forced to share one of these answers aloud (post a comment) with your group, but growing in community with one another requires us to be open and vulnerable so volunteer to share.
2. Responding to God Questions are reminders that we study God’s Word so that He can speak to us and we are changed thereby. We should be listening for His voice. These types of questions ask for a response to God’s personal message to you. I have found that writing out my prayers helps me to focus better on what I need to say to God. No one will ask you to read (post) yours, but you should always feel free to share your response with your group.
3. Stronger Jeans are optional questions designed for those who want to dig deeper. Some of the answers will be easy for even a beginning Bible student, and some will require more experience in God’s Word.

I am trying something new with the blog. You will notice that each verse is underlined. Just click once on the verse and you should be directed to the exact text of that verse at net.bible.org. I hope this will make it a little easier to look up scripture if you don't have a bible handy. Let me know if you run into any problems.
