James 3:1-4
The taming of the tongue! How that little muscle in our mouth is like the rudder that guides the direction of the ship at sea.
James 2:14-26
Paul in Ephesians says we are saved by grace through faith in Christ, and yet James says that faith without works is dead. There is no contradiction here! Faith works! Good works are evidence of true saving faith.
James 2:1-13
God's "war on poverty", as God's people need to be concerned with equal treatment for all in the church and society. We should not show "respect of persons" and treat the rich differently than the poor.
James 1:25-2:2
Fight ignorance… learn all you can about the Bible and the knowledge of Jesus Christ.
James 1:22-25
O To be doers of the word and not hearers only! O To be doers of the word and not preachers only!
James 1:19-22
The Lord gave us two ears and only one mouth; so let everyone be quicker to listen than we are to speak! Sometimes new believers are put on a pedestal and say foolish things before they have wise learning.
James 1:16-19
How God tests the quality of each believers' faith. Temptation is allowed, to see what we will or won't do with it.
James 1:13-15
Who is responsible for tempting us? God does not tempt anyone with sin, but…. WE are tempted, when we are drawn away by our OWN lusts.
James 1:3-13
We are going to have our faith tested to see if we can persevere. Suffering teaches the believer how to pray and seek the Lord, which is a skill needed in life. Pain teaches us this much more effectively than a whole life of pleasure.
James 1:3-11
McGee takes on the question of why do good people suffer? It helps to know that there is a purpose in everything that happens, and God uses adversity to refine the believer in ways that cannot be done by any other means.
