How To Live Everyday With Christian Integrity | FITC36
Episode 36
In this final sermon on Living the Integrated Life, we conclude this series by examining James’ final closing remarks in his letter. Unique to James, he doesn’t give us closing benedictions but a solid call to action — to watch your tongue, strengthen your prayer life, and look out for your neighbors. These verses summarize the appeal made by Jesus Christ to his disciples — take up your cross daily and follow him.

Key Notes to Remember
The Power of Our Words
Considering the power of our words, Douglas Moo writes the following:
Our truthfulness should be so consistent and dependable that we need no oath to support it: a simple “yes” or “no” should suffice. “Our mere word should be as utterly trustworthy as a signed document, legally correct and complete.” The Letter of James: PNTC, Grand Rapids.
The Power of Our Prayers
Considering our prayer life, James calls us to pray when life is hard. He is also calling us to pray and praise when life is good.
The Power of Our Witness
Do we believe sin destroy lives? If so, we should be concerned for our neighbors, not just ourselves.
