    Contributed by Michael Mccartney on Sep 16, 2018
     | 7,706 views

    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

    Contributed by Paul Andrew on Jul 12, 2018
    based on 2 ratings
     | 12,383 views

    We are not to judge others as if we are God. Or to judge with evil thoughts.

     | 11,299 views

    We live in an image-driven culture and our churches seem to be buying into the concept in their efforts to reach people, but more than ever, what people need is for us to be genuine followers of Christ. Consider these thoughts from our Family Minister Scott Jewell.

    The death of George Floyd brought the problem of racial injustice to the forefront again. Although there may be a need for police reform, the underlying problem goes deeper. What does God's word say about things like racism, prejudice and discrimination?

    RACISTS AND BIGOTS AND BIAS, OH MY! The death of George Floyd brought the problem of racial injustice to the front burner again.
