Stirred By The Scriptures

I love the book of James.  One of the reasons is it is straight forward.  You don’t need to spend much time guessing as to what James is saying.  Where you spend the time is in figuring out how to make the truths part of everday life.  As we get ready to study this book together in a couple of weeks, I want to focus in on what I believe to be the key verse of the book.  In chapter three and verse thirteen we read: “Who is wise and understanding among you?  Let him show it by his good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.” The challenge - to live in humility.  One of the rarest qualities of life is humility yet James tells us it is a necessity for living wisely.
