heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay.

| Practical Christianity Part 1 James 1-2 |
| We continue this month to look at being a Christian in a practical way from the book of James. This practical 5-chapter book goes into a variety of issues that was plaguing the church 2000 years ago and affecting us now. This lesson is part two of the practical study and will cover the last half from the book of James. This lesson like the previous one will be broken into two main sections. The first will be a direct relation to the Bible. Then the second part will cover those areas in a personal manner. The goal is to take what we read and then apply the lessons we learn in a practical means. After all, when we talk about food, you will not get full from a theoretical meal but will feel satisfied when eating real food. Let’s treat the Bible the same way and eat spiritually of the good book we call, The Bible. |
