Good Fruit: What is the Word of God? - 059

Did This Sermon Miss the Point of James 2? - 058

This week Judah and Jonathan review a sermon from our local megachurch. The sermon is over the first verse of James chapter two. The pastor adds in his own governing context to the verse that isn't there. And turns the verse into being about racism and prejudice instead of the actual context of the sin of partiality and showing favoritism towards the rich.
