How To Tell If Your Faith Is True. Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 31, 2021

When you think of some Christian you greatly admire, you are usually thinking of their loving kindness and Christian actions, and not their views of the trinity. It is by behavior that we impress people with our Christian faith and not by our belief.

The passage we are looking at has been greatly misunderstood. Some have thought it contradicts what Paul says about being justified by faith. James says we are justified by works. They appear to be holding opposite views, but a close study of the words reveals that they are in perfect agreement. ...read more

Freedom Isn't What You Think

Contributed by Robert Butler on Jul 6, 2020

If I have been forgiven for all my sins, why not keep on sinning?
