     | 4,922 views

    James diagnoses some problems in the churches to which he writes and offers some home truths concerning the Christians' having the Wrong Spirit, the Wrong Friendship and the Wrong Attitude.

    HOME TRUTHS FOR CHRISTIANS The letter written by James is very direct and personal in its message - he doesn't pull his punches.

    based on 36 ratings
     | 8,197 views

    Submission to God is the key and reshaping our desires is the result. Then, instead of fighting off what we desire, we are able to pursue our desires.

The Bible gives the key to resisting temptation in James 4: 6 But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: "God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble." 7 ...read more
