Today's Reading
The Epistle of James
James is a confrontational letter, and one which deals with the practical, everyday matters of the Christian faith. There were problems in the church to which James is writing, and for the sake of the Gospel, those problems had to be fixed.

- Which problems does he confront which still seem to be problems in the Christian church today?
