James doesn't hold back when speaking hard truths to his readers. This week's passage is no exception.

If we're honest, most of us love to procrastinate. But not just with school and work deadlines. We do it spiritually too. We think, there's always tomorrow. However, today's steps determine tomorrow's destination.

Are you in or are you out? Jesus put the ultimatum to his followers; they were either with him or against him. James lays out the same challenges to his audience: are you in or are you out?

Many of us feel constantly stressed in our life. That's often because we have no margin in our life; no space between what we have and what we need. As margin decreases, stress increases.

Are you wise? We'd all like to think we are... especially compared to people we know and the things we see on social media. It's one thing to say we're wise, but it's something quite different to show it.

Big fires start with small flames. Life altering moments are often sparked by just a few words. James teaches us, if we can learn to control our tongues, we can control our lives. There's power of life and death in the tongue.

Saved by faith... right? So how do you know that you have the kind of faith that saves? It's a classic question and James has the answer.

The anger inside us won't get us to the goal we're after. Only God's Word, planted deep within our minds and our hearts, will work its way out into our actions and help us be who God designed us to be.

Life is difficult and full of trials, but gives us the grace and strength to endure and remain steadfast. As the firstfruits of God's new creation, Christians are to be a sign to the rest of the world of the great things to come in God's renewed creation. When we remain steadfast, full of joy, through the trials of life, we are that sign.

Can you imagine what it would have been like to have Jesus as your older brother? You might not know this, but Jesus had at least 6 siblings. What would it take for you to believe that your brother was the Son of God and worthy of your worship and total life devotion?
