Doing Good

Contributed by Greg Nance on Jul 28, 2012

Galatians has a word or two on good deeds that sound a lot like the message of James. While James doesn't focus on the Spirit, and Paul centers there, the echoes of the faith are heard in both. It is impressive to note the parallels.

Just as faith without works is dead, James 2:26, James makes it clear that claiming to be religious without ...read more

The Goodness Of God

Contributed by Matthew Smith on Mar 12, 2011

As James talks to us in James 1 about not being deceived, he gives us some reasons that we can know that God is good no matter what our circumstances.

In the mid to late 90’s people in the church began to say God is good--- all the time--- all the time---God is good. It’s easy to proclaim and to shout aloud the goodness of God when things are going great! It’s easy to brag on Jesus when people are coming to know Christ in large ...read more
