James warns us that believers can be guilty of wearing the Word, talking about the Word, singing about the Word but not doing the Word. How do we become doers of the Word?

But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves” (James 1:21-22). There once was a famous inventor who unveiled a new invention. He ...read more

We may not always like what we see in the mirror of God’s Word but what we see there is always the truth and always the best!

“But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. But he who looks into the ...read more

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
