The questions are regarding something I mentioned in an earlier episode with Bro. Devin Birdsong.

Send us Fan Mail In Today's study, we dig a little more into what James has to say regarding the tongue of man. We also examine what he has to say about wisdom, knowledge, righteousness, and how they come. There is a wisdom of this world, but it is earthly, sensual, and even devilish.

Send us Fan Mail In today's study, we examine the deadliest weapon known by mankind. I feel certain that every person has been attacked by this weapon we speak of, which is better known as the tongue of man. James doesn't go easy on us concerning the way we use our tongues.

Send us Fan Mail In today's episode, we have a good discussion with good friend of mine, Bro. Darin Wood. Bro. Darin speaks regarding a topic that I believe we need to revive among our churches.

Darin brings up several things, and he also brings along his unique perspective to this long held belief of the...

Send us Fan Mail In today's study, we look into the argument James is famous for. He strongly promotes the belief that faith must have works that come with it, or it is not authentic faith. James uses several analogies to prove his point, and he concludes that if you don't have works with your faith, your faith is dead. He says that Abraham was justified by the work of offering Isaac on...

Send us Fan Mail In today's installment of Systematic Theology, Bro Donnie and Bro Chris Lee teach a subject many people struggle with. For some people, Christ began His existence at Bethlehem. These brothers use biblical evidence to prove this is inaccurate at the least, and heretical at the worst. Jesus is the 2nd member of the Godhead, thus He is deity just as much as the Father. Because t...

Send us Fan Mail In today's study, we learn that if you are only a hearer of the Word of God, and you are not a doer, God is not pleased.

Those who continue to look into this perfect law of liberty and continues in it will be blessed. We also examine the idea of those who...
