aka James – Listen Carefully
To believers in every age, but especially to those under attack for their faith, James says: Don’t just look at the Word of God – do what it says!

Why… Believe the Trinity?

God does nothing by accident, and Peter’s address to the crowds in Jerusalem on the day of Shavuot (Pentecost) made it clear that the Hebrew scriptures pointed to the outpouring of the Holy Spirit on that particular day.
Why… Is Marriage Still Relevant?
Contrary to the belief of many in our society, marriage is a covenant, not a contract. The Bible makes it clear that marriage is of divine, not human origin, and is a reflection of God’s character!
