James 1:16-27 - Hearing & Doing

What if we’ve misunderstood several often-discussed concepts in religious life? Like the role of anger, the pursuit of justice, our actions, and even the definition of “religion” and “the word of God”!? Those are all topics James addresses in these verses. He reframes each through a right understanding of the term, “word of God,” as Jesus! Through the good news of his life, death, resurrection, and reign, God frees us both from and for anger, frees us from empty religion, and frees us to act — not by our own power but through his, and for his glory!
