The unit for February 2021 is “James,” and the theme is “Faith with Action.” Our lesson writer, Dr. Mark Scott, shares, “Some things just belong together—love and marriage, horse and carriage, and faith and action. The ‘blue jeans Christianity’ of the Epistle of James makes that abundantly clear. Students will learn how deeds are evidence of genuine faith, how mercy trumps judgment, how the tongue can bless or curse, and how friendship with God is maintained by single-minded devotion to God.” ( . ________ ________ In February we move from the wisdom literature of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount (January’s lessons) to the wisdom literature of Jesus’ brother James in his Epistle to the “twelve tribes” (Christians scattered throughout the Roman Empire). It is correct and right to begin the year with our feet on the ground and our wheels on the road.
