Reading through James: pure religion

Have you ever just had one of those days?  You know the ones that seem to drag on and on, but then rush in weird spots?  Today was one of those days for me.  I loved reading today's passage!  It was such a great reminder that even on days like today God can help me be faithful to Him as He is FAITHFUL!

Read James 1:26-27.

Comment below on how this looks in life.
