JONES: This world

2 weeks ago | guardonline.com | Scott Jones

It has been said “The problem with Christianity is Christians”. This is very true. We often do not follow the teachings of our Lord. We often do not put what the Bible says into practice, and James tells us what is at the heart of our failure. Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
JONES: Sow peace

4 weeks ago | guardonline.com | Scott Jones

Last week I wrote about displaying wisdom. True wisdom is characterized by peace. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy. [18] Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace. [James 3:17-18 NKJV] Today we see a “form” of wisdom that does not lead to peace. James talks about this kind of wisdom too, Where do wars and fights [come] from among you?
DEAR FATHER | The solution to a ‘culture of contempt’ is to emulate the saints and embrace the Gospel

4 weeks ago | stlouisreview.com | Scott Jones

A great description for our current era comes from Arthur C. Brooks, a public policy scholar, who states that we live in a “culture of contempt.” It is a very apt term. Our nation and world are becoming increasingly divided. When politicians disagree with one another, they do so with hostility and open mockery. People who hold different viewpoints are labeled as enemies. Entire groups of people are objectified as societal problems. Public discourse seems to be at an all-time low.
JONES: Display wisdom

1 month ago | guardonline.com | Scott Jones

In our society, we have confused education with intelligence, and intelligence with wisdom. Education is great, but it is not an indicator of intelligence, nor is the ability to recall facts, an indicator of wisdom. Wisdom is the ability to take knowledge and make a good, consistent, and correct decision. Today, with the world wide web, we have more information at our fingertips than ever before, yet we see less wisdom displayed. Let us be honest, wisdom is fleeting in our world.

JONES: Poor and wealthy

Feb 7, 2025 | guardonline.com | Scott Jones

Listen, my beloved brethren: Has God not chosen the poor of this world [to be] rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which He promised to those who love Him? [James 2:5 NKJV] At first glance one would think that James is writing against wealthy people. To some extent he is, but not for being rich, but for taking advantage of people to become rich. Having money is not a sin and being poor is not a sign of holiness.

JONES: From Above

Nov 25, 2024 | guardonline.com | Scott Jones

As we enter the Holiday Season, it is appropriate that we first have Thanksgiving. Often we find ourselves facing struggles and difficulties. Gratitude can be difficult when our world is falling in around us, but thankful is exactly how Christians should feel. In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. [1 Thessalonians 5:18 NKJV] In everything give thanks? There have been some times in my life when I didn’t feel like being thankful.
Jones: Do Good

Sep 19, 2024 | guardonline.com | Scott Jones

I’ve heard many people say that they miss the “good ole days”. I’m getting a little older now, which can be difficult to admit, and I must say that I agree. There are many things which I’m glad we have today, but there are several things that I miss. I do like the technology we have. Cell phones and computers have made things easier, but they have also made things worse. Well, technology didn’t make things worse. No, we must take the blame for that.
Discover the VinFast IRONMAN World Championship Host City of Nice, France

Sep 12, 2024 | ironman.com | Kim Schwabenbauer |Scott Jones |Laura Siddall |Brittany Bevis

Nice and triathlon: History in the making The first event to put Nice and the Cote d’Azur in the spotlight was the aptly named, “Triathlon International de Nice.” The event was born in the Autumn of 1982—the same year that the IRONMAN World Championship in Hawai`i skyrocketed into worldwide sporting fame. Nice Triathlon organizers hoped to bring the momentum of a new and growing sport to Europe.
