Talk The Talk And Walk The Walk

Contributed by Ian Whitmore on Jul 31, 2024

Faith and works. This is the duo that is inseparable for James. James lays that out pretty plainly in this passage. Faith and works must go together. Belief and action, words and deeds.

Two things that went together that one without the other just didn’t happen or it just didn't make sense that was Woody and Buzz lightyear. I love the ...read more

Don't Waste Anything Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 31, 2021

James says to Christians who are struggling with life's adversities-don't waste anything in life-not even your negative experiences, for they contain great potential.

It appeared a worthless worn out pit with all its value exhausted. But when man developed a new need, a need for Tungsten, the waste deposits from ...read more

When You Feel Like All Others Have Turned Away!

Contributed by David Wilson on Nov 23, 2015

Paul writes in his letters to Timothy and warns about those who have turned away or deserted him!

FEELING ALL ALONE In my recent reading of I and II Timothy, I was struck by Paul’s declaration to the young preacher how many had turned from the faith.

Quick And Slow
