How does a Christian today remain “unstained” by the world? Sometimes, it seems to be a goal that is unattainable. Whether political, moral, or philosophical, the secular world has a way of slowly creeping into our homes and churches.
This semester, journey with us through the Book of James. Renew your mind, as James gives us the hard truth in a very practical way.
