Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you. James 1:21
This epistle by James, the brother of Jesus, is a general letter, addressed to many people and places rather than just a single church. James is adamant that faith and works cannot be separated. Real faith permeates every area of life to the positive.
Tongues and tempers are firm footholds for trouble. Guard against loose language, criticism and gossip toward each other, but also keep God’s name Holy and don’t blame all the world’s troubles on Him. He is good, not evil. (Read all of chapter 1.)
Faith is Christ alive in us, planted, rooted and growing. He died to give life. LIVE!
Have a Wonderful Tuesday,
