Action Briefing

James 1:22

Information is cheap today. The internet is loaded with so much that we cannot even start to digest.

Mirror Image

James 1:23-25

God's Word has been likened to many things: seed (Luke 8:11), a cleansing agent (John 15:3), gold and honey (Ps 19:10) and a sword (Eph 6:17). Now James says that it is also like a mirror.

James 1:26-27

James 2:1-4

James 2:8-9

Faith at Work

James 2:14-17

Many people claim to have faith, but how do we know if it is real? True faith in Jesus Christ brings salvation (cf Acts 16:31) from sin's domination and from hell itself.
