8 The Epistle of James: The Power of the Tongue

James Meyers, III considers what St. James says in his epistle about the nature and charge of teaching in the ministry of the church and such as should not be taken lightly. James discusses how influential communication has been, is, and ever shall be and thus, must be regarded for how our communication influences ourselves and others and how others’ communication influences us. As Christ said, out of the heart, the mouth speaks, but He had many admonitions against itching ears and hearty invitations for those who have ears to hear.

7 The Epistle of James: A Working Faith

James Meyers, III concludes our consideration of James 2:14-26 by discussing the examples which St. James cites: namely, Abraham and Rahab. Upon reflecting these two disparate saints of God, James further illustrates these two blessed individuals are not merely examples of living faith, but are ancestors of our Lord Jesus Christ. With Christmas approaching, we are encouraged to see the deeds we do in faith are done in the incarnate Son of God.

6 The Epistle of James: Fides Viva (Living Faith)

James Meyers, III discusses perhaps the most controversial passage found in the Epistle of James, chapter 2, verses 14 through 26. Historically, some great theologians of the church thought St. James contradicted the teachings of Paul, or more specifically, the Protestant motto, “justified by faith.”  James Meyers shows how these great saints are far from contradictory. In fact, they taught the same theology as it relates to faith.

4 The Epistle of James: Doing the Implanted Word

James Meyers, III discusses verses 19-27 of the first chapter in the Epistle of James. Verse 19 begins something of a transition into the remainder of the epistle. It is still an introduction but somewhat distinct from what has preceded it. James Meyers, III gives a cautionary, yet encouraging, lesson about this portion of the epistle before we proceed to the body therein

Meeting the Messiah: A Kangaroo Court

James Meyers, III examines the first trial of Christ which was before the Jewish authorities. This was a peculiar affair filled with scandall and subterfuge, exacerbated by political expediency. James considers this and how what seems quite incredulous, namely, putting to death the perfect Man, is altogether natural for fallen mankind. It is his position that if Christ came incarnate today, rather than 2,000 years ago, He would suffer the same fate.
