WEDNESDAY
NIGHT BIBLE STUDY |
EVERY WEDNESDAY
NIGHT AT 6PM, WE HAVE A THANKSGIVING-STYLE MEAL
WITH AN INTENSE, IN DEPTH STUDY OF THE BIBLE.
WE ARE CURRENTLY
STUDYING THE BOOK OF JAMES. IT WAS WRITTEN AROUND
45-50 AD. THE BOOK WAS WRITTEN BY JAMES, THE HALF-BROTHER
OF JESUS.
THIS EPISTLE IS
ADDRESSED TO THE "TWELVE TRIBES WHO ARE DISPERSED
ABROAD". JAMES WAS WRITTEN FOR ALL BELIEVERS.
THIS BOOK DEALS
MOSTLY WITH THE REALISTIC CHARACTERISTICS OF CHRISTIAN
CONDUCT. IT SPEAKS OF HOW FAITH WORKS IN THE LIFE
OF CHRISTIANS EVERYDAY.
MANY THINGS ARE
DISCUSSED IN THIS BOOK BUT THE KEY DISCUSSION
IS AROUND THE TEACHINGS OF CHRIST, FAITH, AND
WORKS, THE USE OF THE TONGUE, AND PRAYER FOR THE
SICK.
IT IS A SHORT, MERELY 5 BRIEF CHAPTERS, YET JAMES
PACKS THESE CHAPTERS WITH A BLUNT "IN YOUR FACE"
INSTRUCTION ON FAITH AND CHRISTIAN LIVING.
