War and Peace
How many of you left your hometown at one point or another? How do you feel when you move to a new city/country? Like you don’t belong, so you need to prove yourself, like you finally get to do what you want?
James is writing to the dispersed believers across the known world. They are dealing with persecution, but also opportunity. They are immersed in the gentile way of life and the ethos of the world seems to be getting into them a bit. He’s hearing a lot of words but not enough action, a lot of thoughts but not enough wisdom and a lot of plans but not God’s purpose. Do we see any of this in our own situation today?
