    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. Martin Luther wasn't very keen on this book - he called it "an epistle of straw" because it didn't say much about Jesus or the Cross. But that's an incorrect reading of ...read more

    Living As If God Matters Series

    Contributed by Tim Bond on Aug 27, 2002
    based on 86 ratings
     | 6,744 views

    Nadab & Abihu serve as examples of what happens when we trivialize God and begin to live as if God doesn’t matter. Thank God for the grace that saves us from the consequences of our sin.

    The story of Nadab and Abihu is not one of the most prominent in the Bible. - Unlike Samson last week, not one of those commonly taught in Sunday School. - Not in many people’s top 10 list. Some are probably thinking “Nadab & Abi-who?” The Hebrews had just been led out of Egypt. They had followed ...read more
