    James diagnoses some problems in the churches to which he writes and offers some home truths concerning the Christians' having the Wrong Spirit, the Wrong Friendship and the Wrong Attitude.

    HOME TRUTHS FOR CHRISTIANS The letter written by James is very direct and personal in its message - he doesn't pull his punches. Martin Luther wasn't very keen on this book - he called it "an epistle of straw" because it didn't say much about Jesus or the Cross. But that's an incorrect reading of ...read more

    When we do not submit to God there is a conflict inside. 1. The source of the conflict is selfishness. 2. The result of the conflict is rebellion. 3. The solution to the conflict is submission.

    When Jesus rode into Jerusalem with the crowds from Galilee following him, he was giving them an opportunity to acknowledge that he was indeed the King of Israel, or rather King of the whole world. He was giving them the opportunity to submit to him as Lord of their lives. But we know that was ...read more
