James is going to finish his letter with a list of resources to help us weather the storms together as family. Though uncomfortable and unsettling, trials can produce something deeper in us than we ever imagined.

Everyone on the planet has to address this question sooner or later and then attempt to live out that reality. The Bible says that trying to answer this question without the perspective of our creator makes us think and act like fools.

James goes to the root of the issue and takes on the forces of desire that define our lives: we must stop living for ourselves and lay down our lives for the sake of others and the glory of God... but how and why would anybody do that?

Our words have the power to produce life or death. Have you ever noticed that the doctor looks at your tongue to see whats going on inside your body? Have you ever really reflected on how the words of your mouth always reflect something deeper going on in your heart?

There are specific things we check for to tell if we are alive. James says it's not enough to know or even have faith... Authentic faith that is alive and well must eventually translate into some kind of behavior. It is the authentic proof of a new life within us.

There is a barrage of discourse today calling for the redistribution of wealth and to help the poor and the homeless. 2000 years ago, James and the early church wrestled with the exact same issues! So how does a Resurrection Community try to live out the truths of justice and mercy as we love our neighbor as ourself?

The Pritchards aim to help couples and parents grow Godly homes by encouraging and equipping marriages and families.

If you have had a genuine encounter with Jesus Christ, what difference will it have in your life? This text tells us if you have a new and living relationship with God you will have also have a new relationship with His word.

This is a study of the book of James. It is a book of ethics. James is asking the age old question of "How then shall we live?" He was not trying to make the case that we are saved by works but he was making the point that, in a world full of words, it is our actions that mark us. It is our lives that speak the loudest.
