No Distinctions!

In James 2.3,4, this morning. James in essence says, In the house of God and with the people of God, there should be no distinctions. It is a radical difference from the world that they live in where people who were wealthy and/or a part of high society were given the place of honor wherever they went. They were more equal than the poor. The Old Testament condemns this treatment of the poor again and again, and James (along with other NT authors) carries this condemnation into the Church Age. There is no place for showing favoritism in the Christian faith, based on wealth or position or skin color or nationality. No distinctions!
