Do Not Show Favoritism

James 1:26-2:13

1. Pure religion shows itself in the behavior of the believers.
2. Discrimination offends the nature and the person of God.
3. Discrimination is theologically incompatible with God.
4. Discrimination makes no logical sense.
5. The scripture excludes both discrimination and favoritism.
