How to Respond to the Word of Truth

James is showing us how to respond to trials and temptations. How do we respond to the truth of God's word in our lives? Three ways to respond are simple but if these three truths would take hold in our hearts then it would radically change the picture of Christianity, he says. We often approach the word talking instead of listening you know what I mean by that maybe not outwardly verbally talking but we come to the word already with our minds made up about how we want to live our lives according to James.
