    Contributed by Tim George on Mar 17, 2001
    based on 99 ratings
     | 4,247 views

    James tells us the story of a rich man and a poor man who came to church one day. One appeared to be a winner – the other a loser. How should a group of losers who have been made winners by Christ treat such people?

That makes it all the more hurtful to some when someone like Ted Turner is quoted as saying, “Christianity is for ...read more
