James is full of powerful incredible instruction for life today, none more timely than this - Be Slow to speak! Listen first! Go to the word, let it soak in, and be doers of the Word.
Relevant Christianity is active Christianity, not passive. What is Faith in Action?

PRAYER OF SALVATION
Jesus, I believe you came because you love us, you died on the cross because you love us and you rose again because you desired to make a way for me to be with you now and in Heaven. I am sorry for sinning and going my own way, please forgive me. God be the King of my life, I invite you right now to come and change my heart and life. Amen
If you prayed the Prayer of Salvation, do these three things:
1. Tell someone that you started a relationship with Jesus Christ.
2. Talk to God and tell him about your life. Just talk to him like you would to a friend because HE is your friend,
