87) The Glory of Christ - James 2:1-4

We're studying the opening paragraph of James chapter 2, which forbids favoritism and discrimination. The past couple days we've looked at the world's solutions to those problems which are not solutions at all. They only make the problem worse. (Reverse discrimination, reparations, equality, and all that.) Today we'll see the real solution, and chances are, it's not something you would have guessed.
One reason most of us struggle as much as we do in the Christian life is that we focus a whole lot on what to do, but we lack the motivation and drive to actually do it. And the reason we lack that drive is because we don't spend enough time doing the one thing that will really change us—beholding the glory of God.
So in today's podcast, let's just do that. Sit back, and just take in all that is said about Christ's glory, and let it warm your heart toward him. That will do more to change your heart than a hundred tips on how to behave.
