These videos are always long but if you can get through them there is a lot to gain from it; for the glory of God and not of myself to help encourage you in your faith.
A great lesson - though test me on what is being said - about Drawing near to God; and to change your mind and look towards Him; to make yourself low - lowly humble before the Master - Lord Jesus Christ. Not to speak evil against another person - or a brother or a sister; otherwise you are going against Christ by being a judge of the - Law - in which Christ Jesus had fulfilled. The Law figuratively can mean the Gospel - or going against Christ Jesus - because of yourself being a judge of the Law.
James 4:8-12
New American Standard Bible
8 Come close to God and He will come close to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 9 Be miserable, and mourn, and weep; let your laughter be turned into mourning, and your joy into gloom. 10 Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you.
11 Do not speak against one another, brothers and sisters. The one who speaks against a brother or sister, or judges his brother or sister, speaks against the law and judges the law; but if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge of it. 12 There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the One who is able to save and to destroy; but who are you, judging your neighbor?
