WHO LIKES RULES.....?
Have you ever had to follow a rule that made absolutely no sense to you? Maybe it was a rule about what
you could or couldn’t wear, where you could or couldn’t go, or who you could or couldn’t spend time with.
When some people think about God, that is what they think about — a list of rules miles long that don’t seem
important or relevant to their lives. But said there are only two rules that matter most: love God and love
others as you love yourself.
In this series in the book of James, we'll discover that the right rules can set you free — and that free people don't dance with danger, make decisions that benefit others, and give up their freedoms for others.
