Any king worth his salt realizes that he is held to a higher standard than the common people. As Christians we are held to a higher standard, too. What’s the higher standard? In the today’s text, James refers to it as the Royal Law. What’s the Royal Law? It’s the law given to us in Leviticus 19:18: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Jesus Himself narrowed down the commandments for His royal children to this same commandment. So as […]

Robert Murray McCheyne wrote the following encouraging words to Dan Edwards upon the occasion of his ordination as a missionary: “In a great measure according to the purity and perfections of the instrument will be the success! It is not great talents that God blesses so much as great likeness to Jesus Christ.” McCheyne was right. Our success in the great eternal issues of life depend upon our great likeness to Jesus.

James Kallam in his book Glad Tidings tells the story of a young book salesman who approached a farmer and told him, “I have a book I can sell you that will tell you how to farm ten times better than you are farming now.” The farmer thought about it for a few seconds and then responded, “Son, I don’t need that book, I already know how to farm 10 times better than I’m farming now!” A lot of us […]

The Psalmist proclaims in Psalm 119:67-68, “Before I was afflicted I went astray, but now I keep your Word. You are good, and do good, therefore, teach me your statutes.” In today’s text, James is going to teach us a lesson very similar to the one found in this Psalm.

Any experienced Christian pilgrim can attest to the fact that a lot more of life is spent in the valley of hardship and difficulty than it is on the spiritual mountaintops. Jesus said in John 16, “I have told you these things, because in this world you will have tribulation.” What things has He told us? The spiritual mountaintop stuff; the things that prepare us for the hard life in the valley. Today we begin our study in the book […]
