They seem to have all the right words, but (so far) “works” are lacking. James 2:14. What is the profit in the ...read more

    Opening Story; The Lady Be Good The year 1942 was a dark day of World War II. Britain under Churchill stood alone against Adolf Hitler. The United States under Roosevelt was in the process of mobilizing. Churchill’s labour deputy Prime Minister said, “Our Prime Minister wins every ...read more

I would like to read it from Eugene Peterson’s paraphrase (The Message) this morning and then we will look at 3 sections individually from the NLT version. James 2:14-26The Message ...read more
