A
wealth of practical lessons of life can be garnered by the study of the
Book of James. This epistle, however, exhorts us not to be merely
hearers of the Word but doers also. Topics addressed in the book
include learning to stand through difficult and trying circumstances, asking
God for wisdom, countering the lusts of the flesh with God's Word, recognizing
he perfect law of liberty as we stand through the trials of life by believing,
and seeing how humility before God resolves the strife and envy among the
believers. The final chapter then considers repentance and confession
of sin as the means of purifying our hearts before God and drawing near
to Him. The syllabus to the seminar contains additional material
not included in the book and was specifically written to correspond with
the audiotapes and CDs.
