   • God is the source of all wisdom. The Greek word for wisdom (sophia) occurs four times in the letter of James (1:5; 3:13, 15, 17). Wisdom is not a topic or theme of the book of James, but it is an assumed value essential for Christian living and under which all the various topics of the book are subsumed.
   • Testing and trials. Our lives are full of trials. James understands the true goal of trials to be perseverance. And perseverance works toward spiritual maturity and wholeness, which James implies are worthy goals for Christians.
   • Wealth and oppression. Socioeconomic disparity, both in society and in the church, seems to have been a major concern in James’s mind as he wrote this letter.
   • Material things will not last. The poor, without material resources, have also received the riches of God’s grace in Christ. Furthermore, the rich and poor are alike in another way—both will pass away.

James begins the letter by identifying himself as “James, a servant (lit. “slave”) of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes in the Dispersion” (James 1:1). T...

   Talk about one of the most difficult members of the human body to control! The tongue wins the prize for being the most unruly, unwholesome, filthy, degrading, and destructive of all physical members of the body (James 3:6). James compares the tongue to a tiny rudder directing a huge ship and shows how much damage this little member can bring (Jame...

   James wrote this letter in a time of great sorrow for the Jewish Christians. It was bad enough being a Jew but a Jewish Christian? That really ramped up the persecution. Many lost jobs, homes, families, possessions, and many lost their lives. Those who managed to survive were driven out into other parts of the empire but with them they brought the ...

   I also believe James identifies what true religion is and it’s found in James 1:27 where he writes “Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.” Visiting the orphans and widows would be considered the sort of works that James wrot...
