What does God call pure religion? It is more than words—it is a life marked by compassion and holiness, especially to the vulnerable like the unborn, young without parents, or the aged without spouses. We should also seek to keep ourselves unspotted from the world. Please open your Bible to James chapter one, verse twenty-one, and listen as we rejoin Pastor Ray Viola’s message on verses seventeen through twenty-seven. As we continue this challenging passage, ask yourself this: Is my faith merely heard—or truly lived?
