This is a challenging book to be sure. It is very convicting and if it does not make you squirm a bit I would wonder about the condition of your soul.
The study is lead by Steve Budd. He is one of the adult ministry leaders at South Suburban Evangelical Free Church, In Apple Valley MN.

you guys are retarded…
K Murphy,
Actually I am a software engineer making 6 figures a year and running several companies, with a degree in mathematics and meteorology and concentration in computer science, music, theology and philosophy. I am a leader in my community and Church. I would hardly say that I am retarted.
I see by your email address that you are from our fine public schools and you certainly argue your point well.
Why dont we stay to the issues?
Thanks for your comments

I have comments on why you say the book of james is challenging? then i want to ask you one question that is what is unique about the book of james?
Steve – Thanks for your work on the study of James. I just used it in a womens study at our church. You provided much insight & provided my teaching material. Thanks again for your obedience
Do you know where to find the passage that deals with people who are in leadership positions who have sinned that they should leave the leadership position? Thanks
Hahaha Sue, that’s ridiculous. Everyone sins, even people in leadership positions. I think it would be just about impossible to be perfect, to not think one evil thought against another person. Please read more carefully.
But Joel,
Just about “impossible to be perfect” that falls a bit short also…
I assure you, it is impossible to be perfect except for the one God/Man, Jesus…
But, there is a process called sanctification that we experience by allowing the Holy Spirit to do His work in us. To be transformed more into the image of Christ…
I highly encourage you do to a study on sanctification… It would be highly worth your while. ;-D
I appreciate it very much, at least I know from it someone is reading the contents I have here.
The author identifies himself as “James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ”, traditionally understood as James, son of Alphaeus. Really a nice book and the article to also.
The only thing that you need in this world to get through everything, is faith…
It’s all about the faith, the family and your friends!!!!!!
books are the gate of the imagination, where people can do things we always wanted and dream big!
