Show Notes

According to a recent Netflix documentary, there are more forgeries of famous paintings hanging in museums than most people suspect. From time to time, these cases come to light. But what about faith in God? The easiest thing to do is to simply say that one is a believer. But where’s the proof? James addressed this, giving four telltale signs to help us spot the genuine from the fake.


I. Words without Works (v. 14)

II. Sight without Sympathy (vv. 15-16)

III. Profession without Proof (vv. 17-18)

IV. Commotion without Conversion (vv. 19-20)


Talk with God: Ask the Lord to give you a servant’s heart, then seek opportunities to serve or encourage someone this week.

Talk with others: Ask a mentor or trusted believer if your faith is obvious in your daily habits, attitudes, and relationships.

Talk with kids: How can people see the power of God in our lives?
