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!
In the encounter with Moses at the burning bush, God revealed himself and promised to show us more of who he is.
The personal letter Paul wrote to Philemon contains a beautiful picture of redemption through the work of Christ.
Sooner or later every kingdom that opposes God will be “all gone,” but there is a kingdom that will not pass away.
