As we began our study of the book of James in the New Testament I shared with you a biographical study of the author, James.  I hope you’ve had a chance to read over the book at least once.  You will find James introduces the subjects he is going to deal with in the first chapter and then amplifies those subjects later in his book. 

He starts with explaining trials and temptations.  All of the subjects he deals with are either trials or temptations for us.  He also makes it clear that we should pray about everything.  We will need wisdom as we face trials and temptations along the way. 

He has much to say to both rich and poor, and how we should relate to both in the church.  He talks about deception and how to cope with it.  The tongue can get you into a lot of trouble and bring great hurt to others.  But it can also bring great blessing to people and honor to God.  James shows you how to use the tongue beneficially.  Patience is another theme he develops throughout the book. 

Taken as a whole, James talks about our daily walk and how to be Christ-like in all that we do and say.  I titled my study of this book, “Christianity in street clothes.”  Let me encourage you to read it over in a number of different translations if you can.  Then continue to join in our study of this very practical and relevant book.
