We live in a world full of brokenness and sorrow. Sin and its effects touch every aspect of our lives. Through Jesus Christ, Christians, are given an eternal hope that one day they will be with Him and He will make all things right and new. Until then, how will positive change happen in this world? James 1:1 tells us that God’s people are the catalyst for change in this world.

Prayer and Healing

August 25, 2019 • Murray Lee

To those who experience difficult circumstances in this life, Jesus is coming again. To those whose circumstances cause them anxiety, worry and pain, Jesus is coming again. To those who are oppressed, downtrodden, and full of sorrow, Jesus is coming again. The promise of Jesus coming again brings hope for the future as well as the present. God is not merely concerned with the end. He is also concerned with today. And he tells us in James 5:13-18 that whatever season of life you find yourself in, believers are to pray.

Golden Repair

August 18, 2019 • Murray Lee

James has warned the wealthy non-Christian landowners in the first six verses of chapter five that their hoarding of money brought about by fraud and oppression to feed self-indulgence commits violence against the poor and will not go unpunished. God is coming to judge those who oppress his people and the riches laid up in storage to guard against potential catastrophe will serve to fuel their inevitable catastrophe. Beginning in verse seven, James speaks to those who are oppressed: be patient, the Lord is coming soon. Why do we need to hear this? Because life’s circumstances cause anxiety and worry. But knowing the Lord is coming gives strength to the Christian to persevere.
