In this Podcast we break down and study through the following: “Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted: But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.  For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the rich man fade away in his ways” (James 1:9-11).

We live in a world wherein we often see those who say one thing, but then do another.  The world can easily influence us.  In this Podcast, we will look at ourselves.  What happens when we test the sincerity of our love?

Maybe you have heard terms like “disfellowship” or “ex-communicate” in religious discussions.  We are going to examine what the Bible teaches about withdrawing one’s self from an erring saint in this study.  We will see such is not just a “church action.”  We will see why such an action is to be taken and with whom.  We will see that this is not just some kind of formal declaration that someone is no longer a member of some church.

In this Podcast we break down and study through the following: “My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations; Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.  But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing” (James 1:2-4).

What would you think if you saw someone bowed down talking to his or her own belly?  What a thought, right?  Well, there is a phrase in the Scriptures we are going to think through in this Podcast about a person's god being his or her own belly.

In this Podcast we break down and study through the following: "James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting" (James 1:1).
