Here we are at the beginning of another year! This lesson is a break from our James study, though the topic flows directly from our discussion from the first two verses in James 4, and we will actually land right back in James 4 for our conclusion. God had given me this topic back in October for our annual New Year’s lesson, and I had been thinking about it since late 2015.
Lately there has been a lot of talk about “casual Christianity” in church and among our leadership. The more I think about it, the more concerned I am that I and many others are practically living exactly that type of Christian walk, and aren’t even aware of it.
It is because of that possibility that this study compares Jesus’ “greatest commandment” and our lives to see if we are living up to His expectation of us – and our commitment to Him.

This second lesson in the series preparing for the new year is probably suited for two different class times, the first on prayer time, the second on Bible time. The lesson’s intent is very practical, non-judgmental, and non-legalistic.

An in-depth study of James 1:21 intended to show both the biblical mandate for Scripture meditation and the benefits of it. It is very practical, providing ideas for how, when, and different length text suggestions, and has a companion starter template for memory verses.
