James 2:19 You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe—and shudder.
This is one of my favorite Bible verses when I'm in a bit of a snarky mood. Some of you might ask when I'm not in a snarky mood, but we'll leave that question for later. James writes to those who, in the popular language of today, would say they are spiritual but not religious. Folks who say "I believe in God but I don't believe in organized religion." People who say "I believe in God so I don't have to go to church." James would say - you believe in God? Congratulations. You're about at the level of the demons now. The demons believe in God. The question isn't whether you believe intellectually, but do you trust in God's love and show that love with your life? That's the question.
In Christ,
Pastor Seth
