The speed at which King Hezekiah move in restoring worship to Jerusalem was faster than the purification rituals could keep up with. Having invited Jews from all of the Promised Land, God granted special permissions.
The King Who Restored
Hezekiah, one of the best kings of the Jews, now comes to the throne. It was largely because of his godly mother that he turned out so different from his wicked father Ahaz. With great zeal he restored true worship to Judah.
Submit to Resist
Without surrender to God the Devil prevails in our lives. But those submitted to God draw near to Him, improving their outward and inward life. James points out that those who lack serious living in the face of sin have it all wrong.
Scandalous Behavior
Wasting no time James attacks those things that strip Christians of peace. He intensifies his assault against shameful behaviors amongst churchgoers, such as infidelity, infighting, hedonism, prayerlessness, improper prayer and pride
Wisdom, Purity and Peace
What James has to say must be said, heard and acted upon by believers. We must recognize and resist the earthly, sensual and demonic works against believers which show up in the form of self-seeking, bitter envy and confusion.
