NEXT STEPS:
Use these questions as means of personal reflection
in your life as you review the book of James:
1. Am I becoming more and more patient in the testings of life?
2. Do I play with temptation or resist it from the start?
3. Do I find joy in obeying the Word of God, or do I merely study it and learn it?
4. Are there any prejudices that shackle me?
5. Am I able to control my tongue?
6. Am I a peacemaker rather than a troublemaker?
Do people come to me for spiritual wisdom?
7. Am I a friend of God or a friend of the world?
8. Do I make plans without considering the will of God?
9. Am I selfish when it comes to money?
Am I unfaithful in the paying of my bills?
10. Do I naturally depend on prayer when I find myself
in some kind of trouble?
11. Am I the kind of person others seek for prayer support?
12. What is my attitude toward the wandering brother?
Do I criticize and gossip, or do I seek to restore him in love?
