    James discusses the external evidence of one's salvation.

    Faith is one of the great concepts of our Christian experience. Yet, some have pressed this to an extreme by implying that it makes no difference how one lives - faith is all that matters. What I am referring to is what is referred to by some as “easy believism.” Easy believism ...read more

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

There was this very rich man who lived in the United States, who had heard of a man that lived in France that was very famous for walking the tightrope. According to what he had heard, the Frenchman had the reputation of walking the tightrope at ...read more
