Last Thursday we started looking at the epistle that we call "The Book of James" or simply "James". James has long been one of my favorite books partially due to the fact that I am a fan of "James the Just" the brother of Christ and I am of the mind that James did write this epistle.
Please join us as we take a quick trip through these writings that just might have flowed from the hand of the brother of our Lord.
Be a blessing to someone today!
In Christ,

James 1:1-8 New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)
Salutation
1 James, a servant[a] of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ,
To the twelve tribes in the Dispersion:
Greetings.
Faith and Wisdom
2 My brothers and sisters,[b] whenever you face trials of any kind, consider it nothing but joy, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces endurance; 4 and let endurance have its full effect, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking in nothing.
5 If any of you is lacking in wisdom, ask God, who gives to all generously and ungrudgingly, and it will be given you. 6 But ask in faith, never doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind; 7, 8 for the doubter, being double-minded and unstable in every way, must not expect to receive anything from the Lord.
