Zig Ziglar once relayed the following story:
A woman meets with an attorney and says “I want to divorce my husband!“
“OK” the attorney responds, “let’s start with a few questions first.”
“Like what?” she asks.
“Well, do you have any grounds?”
“Yes, we have about 5 acres out in the country.”
“No, I mean do you have a grudge?”
“No, but we have a nice, wide carport and a storage shed.”
“Let me ask this a different way.
Do you have any complaints about him?”
“Like what?”
“Well, does he beat you up?”
“No, I’m up at least an hour before him every day.”
“Well, what about your role here?
Do you ever wake up grouchy?”
“No, when he’s in a bad mood I just let him sleep.”
Exasperated, the attorney finally asks, “Why exactly do you want to get a divorce?”
“Well,” she replies, “the guy just can’t communicate!”
Historical/Cultural Context -
The book of James was written by the half-brother of Jesus.
The Son of Joseph and Mary.
Written in the early 40s.
He wrote to primarily Jews who were Christians, as at this time it was so early in the spread of Christianity that it had not been widely adopted by non-jews, also known as Gentiles.
James encouraged his readers to live consistent Christian lives in the midst of persecution for their faith in Christ.
