Judging people by their appearance has no place in the church. James especially wants us to focus on loving and befriending the poor, tying it in with loving our neighbor as ourself – “The Royal Law.”
Nate Medlong was visiting from Kharkiv, Ukranie. Here is some encouragement to do more than simply listen to good teaching.
Each of us experiences trials and temptations. They are a normal part of life. Still, it is vital that we understand how to deal with them properly. As we begin his letter, James will help us with that today.
Trials and temptations in the life of a Christian, wealth and poverty, godly wisdom, these are some of the key themes we will be discussing over the next couple of months as we go through the Letter from James.
