James 2 - Let's Do It! Series

Contributed by Michael Mccartney on Sep 16, 2018

The church needs to put faith in action by ruthlessly rooting out the disease of pride and prejudice, favoritism in its body. Why? Because it is infecting others and causing death not life. This chapter is clear separate faith and works and you get a dead corpse.

The half-brother of Jesus is speaking to the scattered Jewish Christians across the nations – they were scattered right after Stephen was killed. James tells these Christians ...read more

Come Now Let Us Reason Together Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Apr 30, 2021

God is not willing that any shall perish. He has no pleasure in the death of the wicked. If any man dies lost, it is not because God willed it, but because that man refused to listen to God's invitation, "Come now."

They have disobeyed His commandments; they have spurned His love, and have rejected His leading. They deserve nothing but God's wrath, but instead, God says, ...read more
