As we remember Jesus’ perfect sacrifice this Easter weekend God placed in my heart to write something that He has opened my eyes to and I know will set you free to live the life that Jesus came to give us. You can find many books and writings throughout time that have attempted to show … Continue reading
As we read in the previous post The Book of James Under The Lens of Grace: Chapter 1- Wisdom, Love and Believing James is written to those under the law. It is a transitional book, transitioning from the law to grace. It is a mirror to those under the law, showing them who they are under the … Continue reading
