    A question on many minds is a simple one: Why do Christians look just like the world? Where is this transformation they talk about? As Protestant Christians we know a lot about grace through faith alone.

    The cure for conflict is the grace of God. The good news is that God gives even more grace when the pressure increases, especially to the humble.

    The passage from James 4:1-10 attacks worldliness. In particular, it attacks those who have divided Christianity because of selfish ambition. These people are enemies of God. Quarrels and fights are caused by selfish ambition. Some scholars have translated the phrase “among you” as ...read more

    If a Christian humbles himself/herself (depend on and trust in God’s grace), God will show favor!

    Ever wonder about this question: If God already knew people were going to sin against Him, why did He create them?? Open your Bibles to James and look back briefly with me to James 1:16-17… God is self-sufficient! God existed sufficiently before humans! God has no need for anything or ...read more

    One of the chief reasons for the current downward spiral of America is our refusal to humble ourselves before God. As long as we refuse to acknowledge our sins before God, we will not be blessed.

    Satan’s aim is to destroy our faith and to destroy our church. If he can destroy our faith, then we’ll destroy our church for him. And if he destroys the church, our faith will follow.

    The Devil goes to church … did you know that? He has his favorite pew. He has his favorite hymns. He loves to see a church stuck in a rut because that’s a dying church. He loves a divided church because constant conflict keeps the church distracted from what it’s supposed to be doing. He’s ...read more

    We often hear someone saying of someone else, “HE HAS AN ATTITUDE PROBLEM.”

    What do people mean when they say that? They mean that person has an attitude that is not right about some things in his life. This was exactly what James was saying about people in our text.
