In order to examine the “spirit of Christmas” we must turn to God’s word and in doing so, we must examin...

In James 3, the Scripture delineates the wisdom of this world from the wisdom that is “from above.” In doing so, James reveals that the tangible fruit of true wisdom is “good deeds.” Wisdom is not so much what we know as it is the translation of applying what we know to how we live. Biblical wisdom manifests itself in a life that is: Pure, peaceable, gentle, reasonable, merciful...
