    James and Paul seem to be saying something different about faith. But their message is the same. True faith results in a changed life.

    There is a lot of debate about Faith vs. Works, but when we look at God's word we see Faith and works are combined. We cannot have faith without works, because faith is an action word. This lesson explores this concept through the Lady Be Good.
