James

Our Tuesday ladies group finished  the study on the book of James.  We finished 2011 by studying the Book of James in the Bible. Then we did the Beth Moore study on James in January and February.  We all decided  that we will really  miss James.

 Did you know that he was the step brother to Jesus and rejected him during his time on earth He  was radically changed by his encounter with Jesus after the resurrection. He was the leader of the church in Jerusalem  and that he loved the  law.  His nick name was camel knees, because he knelled in prayer so much. James is just 5 short chapters and can be memorized with time and effort.  It is a great transition between the old and new testaments.........

 I don't think that I am going to leave James just yet. I am going  to read and reread  it often  and  memorize as much as possible.  This is the book that I did not want to study. After all,  it has a lot to say about the mouth and no one likes to talk more than I do.  I am going to ask God to use this book that I did not to study to help me grow closer to his Son and James's brother......Jesus.
