In encouraging Christians to get along with each other, James explains one of the most important principles: to whom God gives His grace, and from whom God withholds His favor.
James applies the principles of a living faith to the gatherings of Christians, challenging us to reject partiality and prejudice, and to value everyone in God’s family.
Building on the principles of Christian humility, James encourages us to submit to God, to resist the devil, and to walk humbly with our brothers and sisters.

Psalm 136 is a special psalm, with each one of its 26 verses repeating the sentence, His mercy endures forever. Throughout the Hebrew Scriptures, the phrase has somewhat of a liturgical sense to it, as if the assembled people of Israel said or sung this in response to the direction of the Levites leading singing and worship. We picture a great multitude of the people of God gathered in the temple courts. A priest or Levite would call out a reason to give God thanks, and His people would respond with, “For His mercy endures forever.”
Consider how great the mercy of God is, as it is expressed in the person and work of Jesus Christ throughout this wonderful psalm!
Psalm 100 is a psalm of thanksgiving, and it speaks of an invitation to the whole earth to know and to worship God.
Pastor David Guzik gives the what and why of giving praise and the what and why of giving thanks.
