A Faith That Transforms Lives: Part I

James 1:17-27
At the heart of problems within the Church, and thus in the individual lives of believers, James sees a divided loyalty: trying to love both God and the World. A true faith, he believes, will utterly transform our lives, including not just what we believe and how we feel, but how we interact with those around us. In today’s passage, James calls upon his readers to be those who do God’s Word, in particular in a way that touches upon our speech, our love and help for the helpless, and our pursuit of holiness.
