I'll Be Honest

Believer, do you consistently seek wisdom from the LORD? Wisdom encompasses more than just knowledge; it entails the righteous application of knowledge in one's life.

I told our folks back home, I said, "If James was from the United States, he'd be from the state of Missouri." James doesn't want to just hear about your faith. He wants to see it.
