The people of God ought to be known by the blessing they bring to the world. Something is seriously wrong, then, when Christians engage in heated quarrels among themselves.

Christians face trials all the time, and James sets out to help his audience endure these “tests of faith.” The kingdom of God offers us a single-minded perspective that can quiet our hearts and give stability to our lives. The pursuit of kingdom values proclaims the counter-cultural life that resists and overcomes the worldly powers of death ..read more
