Divine Guidance for Practical Living Pat Dalrymple

James is a book about practical Christian living that reflects how genuine faith transforms lives. More than any other book in the New Testament, James places the spotlight on the necessity for believers to act in accordance with their faith. How well do your actions mirror the faith that you proclaim? This is a question that we all struggle to answer. Some people today proclaim the Bible is not "relevant" to our society--that it's old and needs to be updated to reflect the times. However, upon closer examination, we can see how relevant it is for today. We can see the principles that wise people live by. And God entreats us to live by the wisdom found in His Word. Wisdom that is discovered in the Bible deals with issues that every one of us faces daily. The book of James is full of practical tips for everyday living. God's word is practical--it isn't super spiritual; or too hard to understand. As you read and study the Book of James, focus on the specific areas mentioned. Allow God to work in you and bring you to maturity in your walk with Him. We hope this study guide enriches your life and helps you to see the practical applications of the Word of God to your day!
