Avoiding detours and distractions

The book of James was written to the Jewish Christians who had been scattered throughout the nations, probably after the stoning of Stephen. The author is widely considered to be the brother of Jesus, who became the church's leader in Jerusalem after Peter. The letter's purpose was to teach and encourage those early Christians to continue living as they had been taught. These Christians had lost almost everything because of their faith in Christ. James’ letter teaches the importance of pursuing a godly life and remaining on God’s chosen path while avoiding the inevitable detours and distractions that will always be part of the journey.
