This repetitive reading and instruction takes us deeply into the Word of God and draws us closer to Him.

True faith produces fruit. A faith without action and without life change is ultimately a dead faith.

James writes to believers who know suffering, who've faced trials, and who ultimately desire a deep relationship with God.
