As stewards of the gospel, Christians are called to share in Christ's afflictions in order to take His gospel to the nations.

Saving faith is vindicated by Spirit-wrought good works.

Dr. Bitner reads through the letter of James in its entirety in this special morning devotion.

In the story we see the hopelessness of seeking salvation through the law and the beauty of salvation found in Jesus Christ. He is the merciful king who seeks, saves, and loves us.

James compares two forms of God’s law, the royal law that condemns us for just one sin and the law of liberty by which God shows us mercy. We who are under the latter law must speak and act mercifully.

At the halfway point of my ministry career, Lord willing, I will reflect on a few hard lessons learned about ministry and myself as I relate to Simon P in the gospel of Luke.

The wisdom we need is the wisdom God gives.

It is God's love that compels His people to repent of their sins and return to Him.
