Everybody is Somebody in God's House

This Sunday we will move to the second chapter of James where we will learn that "Everybody Is Somebody in God's House." James continues a discussion of various temptations and trails that are common to all believers. One of the strongest temptations we face is that of showing partiality or favoritism, of discriminating against people. How would you like it if people based their friendship with you on what clothes you
wore, or how much money you had, or how much power or popularity you had in the community? Do we shun those that might be poor or less popular? In James' day, some
folks did this. I expect that we will all learn something as we see how James dealt with this serious problem in the Church.
