Faithfulness regardless of our circumstances. That’s what it means to be steadfast. But in a world where so much can undermine our faith or pull us off track, steadfastness is often a rare and elusive trait.
James longs for his readers to be steadfast. His letter meets us in our suffering and sickness, our trials and temptations, our wealth and poverty, our ups and downs. He confronts our sin, our speech, and our pride. He encourages believers to have a more resilient and concrete faith: not just to hear the word, but to do it. He calls us to persevere in truth in a world of lies, to see that God’s steadfast love is ultimately the source of our steadfast faith.

In a fickle and wayward age, we need biblical wisdom if we are to stay the course and be steadfast saints. The book of James provides this wisdom, and Steadfast will help you apply it.
What a great and worthy study! As is always James’s style, I’m talking a well deserved and challenging tail kicking. Ms. Doctor does a stellar job helping me not only engage God’s word found in James, her exercises have forced me to take an opened eyed look at my witness and credibility as God’s ambassador. My only recommendation to Ms. Doctor is to make the few changes required to make this study more universal, not simply a woman’s study. James message is to the entire church. Pat, Jennifer’s husband.
