A depressingly common theme that runs through human history is the oppression of the poor by the rich. In the first century, Christians were often on the side of the poor and oppressed. Certainly the readers of James’ letter were in that category. In James 5:1-12, we find warnings about the dangers of wealth and encouragement when we find ourselves unjustly treated. We can respond well, because something is about to happen in history to put all things right!
Timothy and Epaphroditus demonstrated the mind of Christ in the way they lived.
The opening of Luke's narrative about Jesus helps us know for certain the things we have learned about Jesus.
Although sin twists the law for evil purposes, the law itself is good.
