James 1:26 - 2:13 It can be hard to believe, but even in the church we can tend to create clicks and distinctions with others. James says that this should not be the picture of the church. He calls us to love our neighbors as Christ loved us, and to show mercy as we have been shown mercy.

Investing In Eternity
June 26, 2016 • Nirup Alphonse
In light of James' exhortation to submit to God, drawing near to God, and humbling ourselves before God and submitting to His will we find ourselves face to face with our own hearts. In this text, James is going to challenge every believer to take a look at their hearts by looking at where our money goes. In the end, God desires that we use our resources to invest in eternity.
Here Today, Gone Today

We believe that tomorrow is promised. In fact we say the famous phrase, "Here today and gone tomorrow." But the Bible says that our life is a vapor. The saying should rather be, "Here today and gone today." In this passage, James instructs believers to take each day and decisions and submit it to the will of God. As we do that we experience the heart of God is our daily lives.
