In Sunday’s sermon, “Wandering<\/a>,” Ryan showed us how James writes to warn his readers about wandering from the faith. This isn’t always the word that James uses, but a careful read of James’ letter will turn up this warning time and a gain.<\/p>\n

Ryan took us through fifteen occasions when James shows us where and how Christians can go astray.<\/p>\n

Here they are:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Trials (1:2-12)<\/li>\n
  2. Temptations (1:13-16)<\/li>\n
  3. Being hearers of the word but not doers (1:22-25)<\/li>\n
  4. Empty religion (1:26-27)<\/li>\n
  5. Partiality (2:1-13)<\/li>\n
  6. Faith without works is dead (2:14-26)<\/li>\n
  7. The tongue (3:3-12)<\/li>\n
  8. Worldly wisdom (3:13-18)<\/li>\n
  9. Covetousness and quarrels (4:1-12)<\/li>\n
  10. Judging brothers and sisters sinfully (4:11-12)<\/li>\n
  11. Presumptuous plans (4:13-17)<\/li>\n
  12. Rich oppressors are addressed and rebuked (5:1-6)<\/li>\n
  13. Those oppressed and suffering (5:1-11)<\/li>\n
  14. Oaths (5:12)<\/li>\n
  15. Sickness and sin (5:13-16)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    With the fullness of James’ multi-dimensional warning in mind, consider again his closing words in James 5:19\u00e2\u20ac\u201c20, “My brothers, if anyone among you wanders from the truth and someone brings him back, let him know that whoever brings back a sinner from his wandering will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.”<\/p>\n
