The BIG DEAL Of PARTIALITY S7e9 James2:1

If you are like me, you don't even know what PARTIALITY is.  James couldn't be stronger in his alarm at its presence in the church.  He calls it EVIL.  It is a BIG DEAL, and we don't even know it. We'd best figure this out.

Partiality, at its' presentation, is a negative discrimination based on some external, superficial and ultimately STUPID factors.  These could be previous religious status, zip code, country of origin, tenure in the church, age, job description or personal habits.  The one James choses to emphasize is difference in economic status.

What the BAD BEHAVIOR of partiality BETRAYS is 

• a wrong treatment of people based on
• a wrong view of people based on
• a wrong view of the ACTIVITIES of God based on
• a wrong view of the CHARACTER and PERSON of God

James doesn't like the behavior that he sees.  But what he REALLY doesn't like is the mental processes that allow it.  He is going to strike at them both. Please listen in for 7 minutes and then like, share, re-tweet, reply and subscribe at bewithme.us or [email protected]
