Key verses
Jeremiah 7:18-19 - They pour out drink offerings to other gods to provoke me to anger. But am I the one they are provoking? declares the Lord. Are they not rather harming themselves, to their own shame?
Ecclesiastes
God has set eternity in the hearts of men. This phrase reminds me of Blaise Pascal's statement that we all have a God-shaped hole in our hearts. We're longing for something more, something that lasts.
Jeremiah
Gilead was actually known for its medicinal herbs, renowned for the healing power of the plants that grew in that location.
James
Is it favouritism to pay more attention to your friends than any others at a party or gathering? I think the favouritism James is speaking about here is when you pre-judge someone by their appearance and then end up treating someone poorly. If you genuinely like someone better, is it wrong to treat them better than others, so long as you are also treating the other people well?
