GOD’S WORD FOR YOU JAMES 5:16 16 Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. When James tells us to confess our sins to one another, he does so because God’s will is that we ask forgiveness of those we sin against and also of God. […]

GOD’S WORD FOR YOU JAMES 5:12 12 Now first of all, my brothers, stop swearing, either by heaven or by earth or any other oath. Let your “yes” be yes and your “no” be no, so that you may not fall under condemnation. Swearing, cursing, and using foul or obscene language are not all the […]
