THE PATH TO REJECTING GOD (Romans 1:21-32)

July 23, 2014

As a believer, the fact that there is a God, that He is my Creator, and that He alone determines the absolute truths about right and wrong, are so clear and so obvious to me that I have a hard time understanding how someone could not see the same thing. Forget about all of the theology, the religious ordinances, I am just talking about the fact that God exists and that I have an obligation to recognize that.

The simple fact that we exist screams out to me that there is a Creator. To believe otherwise requires so much faith in the feeble knowledge of man that it becomes a religion of its own. It is a religion born out of the desire to feel good about living a life that you know is against the will of God. There can be no other reason for rejecting what is so obvious. It certainly is not based on objective science.

So how did man fall so far from worshiping God and what are the consequences of that rejection? That is the topic of our lesson today.

TO CARE FOR EACH OTHER (James 5:12-20)

June 20, 2014

When you think of your local church what do you think of?

In this last lesson of our study of the book of James, we learn how to care for each other. Without question, Jesus wants our churches to be a hospital for those in need. When a Christian brother or sister is facing a trial, they should find support in the fellowship of the church. When a person needs to find Jesus as their Lord and Savior, they should be able to find Him in our churches.

This is the challenge that James has put before us. We are to care for each other. It should be evident to the world that believers care for those in need. It should be what makes us different from the world whose main focus is to take care of themselves.

James closes this letter with an appeal for patience as we wait upon the coming of the Lord, instruction on how to care for each other, and how the believer is to protect their witness before the world.

TO BE PATIENT TO THE END (James 5:8-11)

June 15, 2014

We live in a world today where more Christians are being killed for their faith than at any other time in history. Countries in the Middle East, like Pakistan, Iran, Syria, and Saudi Arabia daily beat and execute Christians just because their faith does not match their own Muslim religion. Places of Christian worship are destroyed by the religious intolerant. What is sad is that the mass media and the other governments of the world have, for the most part, ignored what is going on in these countries.

The U.S. is also following this trend. While it is currently possible for preachers and teachers of the Word of God to tell what God has defined as the absolute truths of right and wrong, I see a time coming very soon when these same sermons will be considered as hate speech by our own government. Preachers will be silenced from telling the world what the Bible teaches, even in their own churches. Imprisonment, lawsuits, and persecution, will be applied to those who choose to preach and teach Biblical truths. Our government has systematically removed God, Jesus Christ, and the Bible, from our government meetings, our schools, our universities, and the public square.

I believe as Ronald Reagan once said, "Without God, there is no virtue, because there's no prompting of the conscience. Without God, we're mired in the material, that flat world that tells us only what the senses perceive. Without God, there is a coarsening of the society. And without God, democracy will not and cannot long endure. If we ever forget that we're one nation under God, then we will be a nation gone under." -- Remarks at an Ecumenical Prayer Breakfast in Dallas, Texas, 23 August 1984 (President RONALD WILSON REAGAN)

Listen to this study of the book of James to learn that even in the face of the harshest persecution, God has a happy ending for us as believers. We have the promise of the Lord’s return.

We have the promise that the Lord will come in power and judgment.

We have the promise of an eternity in heaven with the Lord Jesus welcoming us with the words well done.

We have the promise of joy, unspeakable and full of glory.

This is why we can be patient. Why, when we are subject to religious intolerance and persecution, we can be still, and why we can be strong, for we know the day of the Lord is coming soon.

WHEN WILL THE WICKED BE JUDGED? (James 5:7)

June 5, 2014

Do you ever look at the world around you and see people who are not even trying to be obedient to God, who are only looking to satisfy their own needs, and say “Lord, why do you allow the wicked to be so successful?”

It is easy to look at countries like Pakistan where Christians are being persecuted to the point of killing them by the thousands, and ask “Lord, why do you allow this to happen?”

When you find yourself working for someone who is deceitful, dishonest, and whose sole purpose is to make your life at work miserable, and ask “Lord, why are you not judging this person? You promise that you will judge the wicked, so when are you going to do it?”

While it is true that God will reward the obedient believer and punish those who are disobedient, the Bible tells us that it will happen on God’s timeline and not ours.

In our podcast this week, James tells the believer to be patient until the coming of the Lord. God will judge all men, the believer and the unbeliever. In fact, Nothing is more certain from Scripture than the fact of God’s judgment to come.

The Bible is clear that all of us are to be judged, we are simply not going to be judged all at the same time. Just as there are several resurrections, there are several judgments. They are distinguished by the subjects of the judgment, the time of the judgment, the place of the judgment, the basis of the judgment, and the result of the judgment.

If you knew the Lord was coming tomorrow to judge you, how would it change your behavior?

LIFESTYLES OF THE RICH (James 5:1-6)

June 1, 2014

Does the Bible say that it is wrong to be rich?

Contrary to popular belief, the Bible actually does not condemn money. A great many people have the viewpoint that there is something dirty about money, and those who make it. They call it “filthy lucre.” This is not what the Scripture says, even though you can find those words in the Bible.

What the Scripture does say is that “… the love of money is the root of all evil …” (1 Tim. 6:10). The key portion of that statement is the love of money. Not the money itself, but the love of money.

The problem is not in the coin itself, or the dollar bill that you hold in your hand. The problem is in the hearts of men and women. It is the love of money that is the root of all evil.

To know that this is true, think of all of the very wealthy Biblical characters. Abraham was a man of great wealth. Joseph was wealthy. David was wealthy. Solomon was wealthy beyond imagination. If it was the money that was the problem, then God would not have blessed these men with these riches.

Listen to this podcast to hear how the book of James does not condemn people just because they are rich but because of their wrong relationship to their riches. James is concerned with how they get their money and what they were doing with it after they get it. These questions are applicable to all of us.

TO KNOW GOOD (James 4:15-17)

May 22, 2014

If we are to know what is good in the sight of God, then we must understand what God’s will is for our lives.

Now, it is easy to say that we are to seek God’s will in all that we do, but how do you really do that? How do you communicate with God on such a basic level that you can determine what His will is for your next moment?

We do this by fellowshipping with God. This is God’s desire, to fellowship with us. When we pray to God and God responds, that is fellowship. It is through this fellowship that we discover God’s will for us. It is through constant fellowship with God that we discover God’s will for the next moment, the next day, and so forth.

As believers, we have the awesome capability of fellowshipping with the almighty Creator of all things. Yet, even as a believer we must deal with the sin in our lives or that sin will cause our communication line with God to be blocked. Sin separates us from God.

If you want to know good, then you must fellowship with God. If you want to fellowship with God, then you must deal with the sin in your life.

Listen to this podcast to learn how fellowshipping with the almighty Creator of all things is possible for you.

CAN YOU DEPEND ON THE FUTURE? (James 4:13-14

May 15, 2014

Can you depend on the future?

We all make plans for the future. We plan for our kids to go to college. We plan for our retirement. We plan for our career. It is considered prudent to do all of these things, and foolish not to, but can we depend on the future happening like we want it to, like we are planning for it to happen?

It would be great if we see into the future and know exactly what was going to happen, so we could better plan for the events that were going to occur. For instance, if you knew that you were going to lose your job in a few months, you might begin to save money to prepare for it.

This is why horoscopes, soothsayers, fortune tellers, and psychics, are so popular, people will try anything to look out into the future. The problem is that none of these methods really work because they cannot really see into the future. Only God can see the future. Only God is omniscient. Only God knows exactly what you will be doing in the next minute, the next hour, the next day, the next year, until the day you die.

Satan cannot see the future. Satan cannot prophesy, only God can prophesy. So if we are to make plans for the future, wouldn't it make sense to consult the only One who knows exactly what is going to happen to us, when it will happen, and how it will happen? God knows it all.

Listen to this podcast to learn why it is so important to always consider God’s will for your life in any plans that you make, for it is God that commands your heart make the next beat, or He is the One that tells it to stop beating. In this lesson, James tells us how foolish it is to leave God out of the equation when we need to depend on our future.

HOW DO YOU REACT TO SIN? (James 4:9-12)

May 10, 2014

In our politically correct society, what is the proper reaction that is expected of someone who has offended someone else? Is it to laugh about what was said? Not likely. Is it to ignore it as something inconsequential? A great number of politicians have learned the folly of this reaction. The accepted, and expected, reaction is for the person to publically, sincerely, apologize and promise to never do it again. It is interesting that our society demands this type of reaction even when the offended person is totally unknown to the person who made the insensitive statement.

Contrast this to what most people consider the proper reaction that is expected of someone who has committed a sin against God. The world celebrates these people, praising them for their courage, and condemning those who would point out that this act was indeed a sin against God, and that God is offended by this sin. Not just this sin, but any sin.

The world laughs at the idea of calling something a sin. Our churches today are calling as good and proper what was once called sin. They not only tolerate sin in the church, but they declare their own open-mindedness because they accept sin as normal and accepted. As a result, church members are not dealing with sin in their lives, even though the Bible teaches that sin of any kind offends God.

In this lesson, James describes how the believer is to react to sin that has been identified in their lives. We are to mourn that sin. We are to ask God for forgiveness of that sin, in other words we are to apologize to God. We are then expected to repent of that sin, which means that we are promising God that we will never do it again.

God expects, and as our Creator deserves, a better reaction than we give to someone, whom we do not even know, that we have offended.

HOW TO DRAW NEAR TO GOD (James 4:4-8)

April 28, 2014

When I was a small child, I always wanted to be near my Father, because I knew that he loved me, and that he would protect me. When I put my small hand into his big hand and we walked somewhere, I always felt secure and safe. When he hugged me I knew all was right with the world.

Now that I am a child of God, I want God to be so close that I can feel the warmth of His embrace. I want God to be so close that I can put my small hand into His infinite hand and I want to walk and talk with Him.

What is so amazing about our God is that He wants to be close to us as well. He wants to walk and talk with us in the cool of the afternoon as He did with Adam and Eve. The Bible tells us that there is a great gulf fixed between man and God, yet God has taken the initiative on this side of the grave. In an act of infinite compassion God has come looking for us because we are lost. God has sent His Son Jesus Christ to be the bridge that can bring us to God.

God has come as far as He can. He stops short of violating the human will. He stands at the edge of the bridge with arms outstretched and says Come! Come! Come!

In our lesson today, James tells us how to draw near to God. How it is possible to have a personal, up-close, relationship with the almighty Creator of all things.

THE SOURCE OF WORLDLINESS (James 4:1-3)

April 14, 2014

When we think about the term worldliness we think of the envy and strife that exists in our secular lives. Political parties split, and one group becomes pitted against another. As management and labor meet around the conference table, there is a battle going on. In the corporate world there are climbers on the corporate ladder who are stepping on the hands of others as they go up. In our neighborhoods, one family does not speak to another family. Within families there are quarrels, brother against brother.

When a church allows worldliness to enter its doors, the characteristics of the world become evident in the church. The envy and strife that exists in the world are displayed within the church. The symptoms of a worldly church are divisions, conflict, power struggles, and open warfare among its members.

Worldliness can be exhibited from both the pulpit and the pew. It can pray with self-righteous eloquence. It can find triumph in the middle of a deacon’s meeting. It can take over a trustee’s meeting. It can split churches over the color of the carpet, or a building program. It will begin in a fight over who to ordain to its ministry, who can become a church member, or who can be baptized. All are topics that can destroy the fellowship and evangelistic efforts of the church.

Listen to this podcast to learn that symptoms of worldliness are evidence of a problem that lies much deeper. It lies within the heart of the church member.

What is the answer to worldliness? Prayer. Personal prayer, properly performed, can reveal the worldliness in our hearts and can cleanse it. James teaches us the secret of obtaining an answered prayer from the almighty, living, God who tells us that we have not because we ask not.

HOW GOD’S WISDOM SHINES THROUGH YOU (James 3:17-18)

April 7, 2014

If you were to list the characteristics of Jesus as He lived on the earth you would probably use words like, peacemaker, gentle, easy to approach, merciful, pure, unbiased, and without hypocrisy. These are the characteristics of God’s wisdom, and they are the characteristics that a true Christian is to exhibit as they deal with those around them.

When someone makes Jesus Christ their Lord and Master, they are reborn and regenerated, they become a new person, and with the power of the Holy Spirit working through them these characteristics become the way a believer will behave. It is the evidence that a revolution has occurred in that person’s life, and that Jesus Christ is their Lord and Master.

Being a Christian is more than just saying a prayer and mumbling some words. We are saved by God’s grace, we do not work for our salvation, but our lives must show the evidence of the transformation that has occurred in our life. The words we say, the works that we produce, the way we control our tongue, and the way we deal with those around us are the evidence of the salvation that has occurred within our lives and they identify the Master of our hearts.

Listen to this podcast to learn how God’s wisdom is to shine through the life of a believer to such a degree that the world sees a positive difference in their lives. Your behavior is your trademark as a Christian.

WHERE DOES WISDOM COME FROM? (James 3:13-16)

March 31, 2014

When you need wisdom, where do you go to find it?

Your family, your friends, your mentors, your teachers, the internet, or maybe even some TV or radio show host?

There is certainly some merit in going to someone who has experienced what you are going through to give you guidance on how to handle some problem that you may be facing. If we were to look back over man’s history we would find that man has discovered many great things and overcome many difficult challenges using the knowledge and wisdom that is available to him. Think of the advances in science, medicine, psychology, and even religion, that have occurred in just the last 100 years.

Yet, when you consider how much more knowledge there is for man to discover, and then compare that to what we already know, you begin to realize how little we truly know today. It would be a bold man that declared that he knows even 10% of all the knowledge that is out there to be discovered. And with each new discovery, man must rethink everything that he knows to put it into context with what he has just discovered. It can be an exciting and humbling experience.

So as you go to other people in your search for wisdom, the first thing you must realize is that everyone you are talking to is giving you answers from that 10% of knowledge that man knows, and they are ignoring all of the answers that could be found in the 90% that man knows nothing about. If you were to go to a doctor and ask him what was wrong with you, and he told you that he could tell you, but that he only knows 10% of what he needs to know to be a doctor, you would probably be skeptical of the answer, as you should be.

So, if you don’t go to other men to find wisdom, who can you go to that can provide you with answers from all of the knowledge that man will ever be able to discover, and all of the knowledge that man can never know?

Listen to this podcast to discover that there are two kinds of wisdom; human wisdom, and God’s wisdom. Human wisdom comes from man’s limited knowledge. God’s wisdom comes from the infinite knowledge of the Creator of all things, the omniscient, the omnipotent, and the omnipresent, living God.

IS IT POSSIBLE TO CONTROL YOUR TONGUE? (James 3:6-12)

March 24, 2014

Is it possible to control what we say?

We usually want to say the right thing, so why don’t we? Most of us will find ourselves having to apologize for saying something that hurt someone else on a regular basis. Is there no way to control what our tongue says?

The tongue is powerful enough to impact all of the circumstances of life.

It is destructive enough to affect the whole realm of human activity.

And it is vile enough to contaminate the whole sphere of our earthly life.

The tongue can ignite all of our worst passions of lust, envy, hatred, malice, and murder and the fallout is all kinds of evil.

When our political leaders use their words to lie to us, to mislead us, to defraud us, and to stir up feelings of class envy, of class warfare, and of racial hatred, the fallout affects everyone in this country and of those around the world. It affects the circumstances that we live in.

James tells us that no man can tame his own tongue. We can tame the wild beasts, but we cannot tame our tongue even when we use our best efforts. The words we say can bless those around us, and they can curse the same people. They can sing praises in harmony one moment, and then explode in profanity the next.

But there is a way for you to control your tongue. Listen to this podcast to learn that God can tame your tongue. It is when the Holy Spirit of God is in control of the heart of a believer that God can use the words that come from your tongue for His work.

BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU SAY (James 3:1-6)

March 18, 2014

Be careful what you say.

Have you ever considered how you would feel if you knew that someone was recording every word that you said or wrote somewhere? And if you knew your words were judged each day by someone to determine if those words were good or evil?

How would that impact the words that you allowed your tongue to say? Would you filter them more closely?

In our world today we get very concerned when the government intrudes on our privacy, such as with the NSA listening in on our phone conversations. We have the concept of presumed privacy in our lives. In countries such as the U.S. that right of privacy is protected, but with technology as it is today, any real privacy is a myth.

Listen to this podcast to learn that God has always been listening in on all of your conversations. God has the sovereign right to bug your conversations, and He has recorded every word that you have ever said.

James tells us that the words used by a person identify who they are. Your tongue gives you away. It tells where you came from. It tells whether you are ignorant or educated, cultured or crude, whether you are clean or unclean, whether you are vulgar or refined, whether you are a believer or a blasphemer, whether you are a Christian or a non–Christian, whether you are guilty or not guilty.

What has your tongue said about you today?

IF YOU BELIEVE GOD, WILL YOU ACT ON THAT BELIEF? (James 2:25-26)

March 10, 2014

If you believe God, will you act on that belief?

There are a majority of people in this country who believe in God, as well as those who claim to believe what God says in His Word. For many years there was a popular bumper sticker that said “God said it, I believe it, and that settles it.”

Yet, if you were to ask those same people if their belief in what God says has made a revolutionary change in their lives, the number of people who said yes to this question would likely be much smaller. The term believer means that you believe what God has promised you in the Bible about what Jesus has done for you, about His shed blood, about forgiveness of your sins, and about death and eternal life. But God demands more from those that He calls His own.

A true believer will take what God says, internalize it, and then act upon it. The promises that God makes to us will create a revolution in the life of person who has accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior. They will view life differently. They will view death differently. The things that were once important to them are no longer important. There are new things that are the focus of their lives, things that God wants you to accomplish. Things that you want to accomplish for God, because of your love for Him. You will take what God has said, and because you believe it is true, you will act upon it in your life. You will create works for God and through God.

Listen to this podcast to learn the story of Rahab. How she heard the promises of God. How she believed those promises, and how she then acted upon them.

DO YOU BELIEVE GOD? (James 2:21-24)

February 25, 2014

Do you believe God?

Not do you believe in God, but do you believe God?

Do you believe what God says in His Word, the Bible?

Do you believe God the Father when He said of Jesus Christ, this is my Son in whom I am well pleased?

Do you believe God when He says that your salvation is by His grace alone, and not by works, lest any man should boast?

Abraham was a man that believed God. What this means is that Abraham said amen to God. God had said, “I will do this for you,” and Abraham says to God, “I believe You. Amen. I believe it.” And that was counted to him for righteousness. Abraham did not work to earn his salvation, it was his faith that was counted for righteousness. But it was not just faith in anything.

It is important to note what Abraham believed, for God to count it for righteousness. It was when he believed the promise of THE SEED. That is when God counted it to him for righteousness.

Ultimately it is the same for all ages. It is the faith in Jesus Christ that our salvation rests. He is The Seed.

It is not mere faith that saves, but it is the object of your faith that saves.

It is not mere faith that saves, but it is your faith in Christ that saves.

Abraham just believed God. He just accepted what God said about the promised Seed, and he believed God. That is the way each of us get saved. That is how we receive God’s gift of eternal life.

You must believe that God has done something for you, that Christ died for you and rose again.

It is then, that God will declare you righteous by simply accepting Christ.

Listen to this podcast to learn that it is not good works that will allow you to stand imputed with righteousness before God, but it is when you believe God.

A TEST OF YOUR FAITH (James 2:14-20)

February 19, 2014

What is the test of your love?

Valentine’s Day has just passed and most of us demonstrated our love for that special someone in our life by buying a gift, candy, flowers, or a special meal of some kind. This custom is so ingrained in our society that to fail to do something leads to being called a callous, worthless, uncaring, bum, by your recently past, not-so-special anymore, loved one in your life. There are those that see this as an actual test of their spouse’s love.

It is not enough that you say that you love them, for the word love is an often used word that can have various levels of intensity.

It is not enough that you believe that you love them, for how many times have you really believed that you loved someone, just to find out that it was more of a physical attraction, instead of real love?

There must be more, there must be a demonstration of that love, or your spouse will consider your love dead, or missing, or simply a mental assent to the concept of love, but it must not really reach down into your heart.

In other words, love without works is dead. You can tell your wife that you love her, and then she will probably look at you and tell you how nice that is, but that she shows you her love by her works.

Therefore, the test of your love for your spouse is your works.

It doesn’t mean that you do not love her if you do not have works. You can be married without works, but if you truly love your wife, or your husband, there will be works that are the natural result of that love. They will come from the emotional, heartfelt, desire, to do things for your spouse that will demonstrate your love for them. Those works will be the fruit of your love.

You will do things for your spouse all of the time, not just on Valentine’s Day, not just because you want to pass a test, or a judgment to come, but because to love someone in the manner that God has intended for a man and a women to love each other, means that what they want and need is much more important than your own wants and needs.

Now, if you can understand this concept, then you will be able to understand one of the most widely misinterpreted, and misunderstood, sections of the Bible as we study it today. Listen to this podcast and learn what the Book of James says about a test of your faith, and how a faith without works is dead.

THE PERFECT LAW OF LIBERTY (James 2:8-13)

February 11, 2014

What is the perfect law of liberty?

Have you ever considered what it would be like to go someplace where there were no laws, and no police officers to enforce those laws? To be totally free to do whatever you wanted, for as long as you wanted, and in any way that you wanted to do it?

Sounds pretty good doesn't it? If I don’t want to get up in the morning, I don’t have to. If I want to drive my car as fast as it will go, then I can.

This is pretty much what it was like for the early pioneers who opened up the western part of the United States. When they stepped out into that wilderness, they were free from the laws and those that would enforce it. They lived by their wits, their strength, and their courage, for even though there were no societal laws, there were always the laws of nature, and the laws of the strongest shall prevail.

So the question is, are you truly free when you step out of the boundaries of the laws of a civil society? Is this true liberty?

Without laws, is there such a thing as criminal behavior? To be a lawbreaker there must be a law to break.

God, as our Creator, knew that man needed laws to establish the absolute truths about right and wrong, so He gave us His Word that we call the Bible. It contains the Mosaic Law, The Sermon on the Mount, and it contains Christ’s Law, which is the perfect law of liberty. These laws identify what is sin for man. They let man know that he has broken those laws, that the penalty of that sin is death, and that man needs a Savior. The very Savior named Jesus Christ who died on a cross to pay the penalty for man’s sin.

As a believer we are no longer under the Mosaic Laws, but our behavior is to be controlled by two commandments.

The first is, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind. This is a believer’s responsibility to God.

The second is, To love thy neighbor as thyself. This is a believer’s responsibility to others.

How do we find perfect liberty? Listen to this podcast to learn that the answer is to be redeemed, released, and ruled by Christ.

CAN YOU JUDGE A PERSON BY THEIR COVER? (James 2:1-7)

February 3, 2014

How good are you at judging a person by their outward appearance?

Can you define a person’s character by the way they dress, or how they speak?

As a believer, we know that the world judges us by how we dress, how we act, and the things we say. Our purpose on this earth is to create a desire in people to want to know more about Jesus Christ by what they see in us. Paul tells us that even in our deepest trials we are to have our hair fixed and a smile on our face. The world needs to know that our relationship with Jesus Christ makes a difference in how we handle adversity.

But what does the Bible say about how Christians are to treat others?

Are we to treat someone who is dressed in nice clothes differently from someone who is dressed shabbily?

Are we to treat someone who has the outward appearance of success differently than you do the homeless person you see on the street?

Are we to judge the value of a person based on the color of their skin, the quality of their speech, or the length of their hair?

James will tell us that as a Christian we are to treat others without distinction to their outward appearance or their place in society. Jesus was just as gracious to the woman at the well as He was to the rich young ruler. He was as kind to Lazarus the beggar as He was the ruler of the synagogue.

This is the way our churches should be, they are to be hospitals for sinners, all sinners, not some special, select, club, for the sisters of society.

Listen to this podcast to learn how a Christian is to behave towards others.

HOW DOES A CHRISTIAN BEHAVE? (James 1:25-27)

January 27, 2014

How does a Christian behave?

Should the world be able to identify you as a Christian just by your behavior?

The Biblical view of a Christian is that of someone who has the love of Christ in their hearts and they express that love towards others. Christians, Christian churches, and Christian organizations have been meeting the needs of the hungry, the sick, and the lonely, for two thousand years and they have done so far more effectively than any government handout could.

It is true that as Christians we live lives that are different from others. There certainly are types of behavior that we will not participate in. But, we see that choice not as a restriction, but as freedom from the consequences that a life of alcoholism, drug abuse, greed, and sexual promiscuity and depravity, can bring to a person’s life.

We also see a life of service to God. God has commanded us to share the gospel message of Jesus Christ to the entire world. Our lives are likely the only Bible most people will ever read. What the world knows about salvation, eternity, the love of Christ for all people, and the power of the Holy Spirit of God in our lives comes from what they see in our behavior, our words, our actions, and our attitudes.

We see a life of duty to the call of God, to accomplish the work that God has given us to do.

We see a life that is free from the worry of what will happen tomorrow, because we know that God is control of all things, and He is in control of our lives.

Listen to this podcast to find out what the book of James says about how a Christian should behave.
