Since James is the likely the oldest writing of the New Testament, it appears from James 4:1-17 that church conflicts have been around almost as long as the Christian church has existed. Instead of treating fights as a normal part of church life, this text exposes their causes and provides the solution. Some of the words are blunt, but they are necessary to drive us to God’s grace, which is greater than all our sin.
Not only did Christ die and rise for his people, but they also died and rose with him, liberating them from sin to live...
The resurrection of Jesus Christ has far-reaching implications about how Christians live and how we die.
The Thessalonian Christians show us what it looks like to live out God’s grace under persecution.
