    Are You Religious? (Part Two)

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on Jan 16, 2017
     | 5,768 views

    In the beginning of James 1:27, James highlights that part of pure religion in the eyes of God is looking after orphans and widows in their distress. Let's take a look at why this would be an indicator of being truly religious.

We looked at chapter three and realized why James highlighted the tongue-because it's the hardest to tame. ...read more

    A Conversation With A Rich Young Man

     | 2,464 views

    Have you noticed that most of our conversations are with people that are in the same age bracket we are in?

    There is an obvious reason for that, we generally talk to people our own age because we feel that we have something in common with them.
