James' transformation is amazing. Starting of his chapter he address about faith and patience to believers. What I personally like, the way he illustrate on 'partiality' in chapter 2 on wards. Its practical towards modern day church too. Team 'The Bible Effect' you'll doing a wonderful job. May the loving God bless you'll - Love from Sri Lanka-

I memorized the books of James and Philippians

Good job. Our faith without evidence (our deeds) is just faith without a foundation. Kinda saying lord, Lord and rejecting the things Jesus said which help the tree produce good fruit.

If we can see beyond our own problems, we can see clearly to help others deal with theirs. Keith Green said it well when he said 'it's so hard to see when my eyes are on me'.

Mathew 23:8 NKJV
But you, do not be called Rabbi, for one is your teacher, the messiah, and you are all brethren” so how be it in many of these amazing videos you have his disciples letting others call them great one aka Rabbi?

Jesus appeals to the masses because he was one of them. He was poor, homeless and destitute. But yet he kept his righteousness. This is called being tried by fire. You don't know your true character unless you are tried by the fire. Sure most Christians are good and faithful when everything is going great. But loose everything just like Jesus and you will be faced with your true character. Will you lie for food? Will you steal for food? Will you covet? Will you deceive? Will you deny? Most Christians will be chaff blown away in the wind. Jesus was homeless. And to be like Jesus which is what Christianity means than you will want to walk in the exact same sandals as Christ. But will you? Look around you and there is your answer. I choose this homeless life to be more like Christ. I have been tried by fire and I saw myself. I hold true to the teachings and I fully understand what Christ went through. I won't drive a brand new car. I won't live in a brand new house. I won't deceive to profit. Now take a good look at yourself and ask yourself would Jesus have all of this stuff that surrounds me? Are you truly a Christian or the devils advocate?😮
