Cover-to-Cover Series: The Book of James with Fred Chay
It's with his typical insight and simplicity that theologian Warren Wiersbe opens his commentary on James:
"Not everybody who grows old, grows up. There's a vast difference between age and maturity. Ideally, the older we are, the more mature we should be; but too often the ideal does not become the real.
"The result is problems—problems in personal lives, in homes, and in churches. As a pastor, I see more problems in these areas caused by a maturity than by anything else. If Christians we just grow up, they would become victors instead of victims.
"The epistle of James was written to help us understand and attain spiritual maturity: "… That ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing" (James 1:4). I like the way J. B. Phillips puts it: '... and you will find you have become men of mature character, men of integrity with no weak spots.'"
To help us explore this maturity-encouraging, growth-inspiring, God-inspired writing we welcome Dr. Fred Chay to the podcast. Dr. Chay is the founder of Grace Line Ministry, professor of theology and dean of the doctoral studies program at Grace School of Theology, and managing editor of Grace Theology Press.
