James: Introduction to Series “Chairman of the Board”

Never losing site of the goal, you must progress one step at a time often encountering obstacles that must be overcome. Like Jesus who ran into the existing power structure in Jerusalem, you have to face up to those who resist change . . . some because they cannot think beyond the present or traditional […]

A Linear Thinker — James 1:1; Acts 2

Are you able to take a risk because the goal is worth the gamble? Is it really much of a risk if you have all of the facts? There is no reason to make any goal too hard to achieve or the risk too great. As a leader you take risks based on the facts […]

Making the Big Risk — Acts 15

Storms and turbulence in our lives, including anything that takes us off our track to achieve our goals, must be dealt with so we can continue moving forward. When we go through the trials in life, anger and impatience can crush our ability to persevere. Those are attributes of immaturity in our thinking and our […]

Don’t Lose Sight of the Critical Issues — James 2

What is important or valuable to a company? What is important or valuable to you? Is it status? No, it is the maturity of your faith, complete without doubt, lacking nothing. How do you judge this? There would be a list: slow to anger, not proud, not dwelling on wrongs, not self-seeking. In the end […]

Don’t Take the Bait — James 1:13-18

How do you prepare yourself to learn something new? First, you have to be ready and quick to listen and slow to speak. You need to clear your mind of evil thoughts and filth which keeps you from being mature in the spirit. How teachable you are is the key to learning and to salvation. […]

Are You Teachable? — James 1:19-21; Solomon 5

It’s fine to listen and read what you should do. More importantly, change will only happen if we do what the Bible instructs us to do. Simply, do what it says to do. If you do not put into practice what you learn, then you will forget. We deceive ourselves if we think not putting […]

Story Telling — James 1:22, 25

Religion is the expression of your faith. It must be developed from the bottom up, at the grass roots. Have you built your faith from the ground up? Have you built your faith by building others up? You need to take a a personal interest in those that need a helping hand. That is an […]

Grass Roots — James 1:26

Many people misrepresent who they are, what they have, what they believe in. We make those judgments of others by what we perceive, often superficially. Have you ever done that? Have we been so polluted by the world’s value system, are we not letting others cloud our judgment? We are not positioning Christ properly to […]

No Misrepresentation — James 2:1-5
