James on Widows, Orphans, the Poor and Favoritism
JAMES 1:26-27, 2:1-13 connected Christian Proverbs.
James writes of three constants in Christian failings. The lack of works in Faith has placed the early Jewish Christians on a path that had brought the Pharisees and Sanhedrin into a sinful state with a disregard for the humanity of God’s law.
These three constants are:
1) The Purity of [...]

The Role of the Church and “Widows and Orphans”
I wrote two articles on the Word of God and “Widows and Orphans” and now that the elections in America are over, I want to express my opinion about what the Churches are responsible for.
The problem with the high rate of abortions in America is not because we have government laws that permit them [...]
Happy Anniversary, Reformation

“And remember, it is a message to obey, not just to listen to. If you do not obey, you are only fooling yourself.” James 1:22 (NLT)

James 1:16-25, Not Decieved But Doers

James is the least studied book of the New Testament in part, I beleive, because it deals with the responsibilities of Christian Living and many don’t want to be “burdened” with accountability. As I have been led by God to Service in the Law of God’s Love, I am compelled to live by what [...]
