    James 2 and Romans 4 have some interesting contrasts. Faith without works is dead or faith apart from works is what saves... which is true?

(Jas. 2:14,17,20,26). A worthless religion and a worthless faith make a worthless Christian and a ...read more

    Too many believers are solely a follower and not a disciple of Christ, they do not build and strengthen the church. Oh yes, they come to church but there participation in the works of the church is at a distance.

    Last week we learned that all believers of Jesus Christ are joined as one Body in Christ through the Spirit of God. We learned that each member is vital to the church and thus every member has a responsibility to the church in carrying out Jesus continuous work of redemption. As I read ...read more
