Episode Synopsis

James, the brother of Jesus, wrote this letter to help believers love God with an undivided heart. The heart is the seat of our loves but sin causes a disordering of our loves. When our loves pull us in different directions we become fragmented, or, as James puts it, double-minded and unstable. True joy comes from loving One Being - God, Who is love.  Keep it simple, silly. James 1:12-19a       our loves direct our lives either to life or to death1. the person who loves God will receive the crown of life (12)2. the person who is deceived by his/her desires will die (13-16)     know that God is the most generous Father (17-19a)Send us a text
