“Hypocrites!” This is the most common criticism of Christians. We say we are Christians, but our words and deeds often don’t measure up. Thankfully, James gives us snapshots of what our lives should look like if we are truly Christ-followers. The Book of James is like a mirror; when we look into it we see what is good and what needs to improve in us. The Book of James is like a guidebook showing us how to live from day to day, saving us from the charge of hypocrisy. James teaches us how to put our faith into action.
