00:26 – The historical background of the Epistle of James.

11:00 – James encourages us to have patience through trials. He teaches, “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask God” (James 1.5). He also challenges the wealthy to pay sufficient wages to those who work their land. We are all part of God’s family, whether rich or poor.

21:53 – James counters the idea that we can blame others for our sins. We have agency and can choose to obey God. All must wrestle with the temptations of the natural man.

27:00 – The Saints are encouraged to be “swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath.” True faith leads to caring for other people.

33:17 – James stresses the importance of keeping the “whole law” (James 2.10).

37:21 – Faith without works is dead. James 2.17-26 seems to be in conflict with Romans 5. Martin Luther struggled with James’ epistle.

46:45 – We must govern our tongue by paying careful attention to the words we use. How great a matter a little fire kindleth” (James 3.5).

52:48 – The elders of the church are to anoint the sick and pray over those afflicted. Miracles of healing are prevalent in the Church today. Blessings and forgiveness come to both missionaries and converts.

0:24.4	talking scripture. I'm Mike and I'm Bryce and today we are going to be talking
0:27.8	about the epistle of James. You might think it's James in the first presidency, but we suspect it's more likely to be James
0:35.7	the Just, which was the brother of Jesus, one of Mary and Joseph's sons. He's going to be a faithful leader of the church in Jerusalem.
0:45.7	And one of the things I love about the book of James is
0:50.5	James is all about practical religion.
0:55.3	Every day, this is what the gospel means.
0:58.6	We're basically just gonna hit a list of marvelous gospel advice and it's a lot less philosophical it's not deep

1:15.0	If I could boil down James to two simple thoughts, it's the idea of connecting with God and connecting with people in a very practical way.
1:26.2	Not that Deep Doctrine doesn't have a place.
1:28.5	I think there's a time and a place for that.
1:30.8	I just am fascinated that someone so close to the inner personal circle of the Savior would have
1:37.9	so much practical advice for us.
1:41.3	One of the things we learned about James from the historian Josephus is that even his enemies appreciated who he was.
1:49.0	He was known throughout Jerusalem as a very pious Jew, but he also believed in Jesus.
1:55.7	So James really walked between these two worlds.
