A Living Religion
My next women's Bible study is on James. So today I began rereading this little book of the New Testament. I have so many highlights, underlines and notes in the margins in this chapter that few sentences are untouched. If you don't consider yourself religious or you do, I would highly recommend reading this book of the Bible. It speaks to how we should live with and amongst one another and improve ourselves. (On an aside, make sure you don't read from a King James Version of the Bible though, that's difficult for anyone to follow. I highly recommend the New International Version (NIV) of the Bible.)
James 1:26-27 states, "If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not keep a tight rein on his tongue, he deceives himself and his religion is worthless. Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world." I know for myself, I'd be much better off in life if I'd keep my mouth shut and just help out those in need. KT

James 2:8 If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, "Love your neighbor as yourself,"
you are doing right.
