James

The Apostle James – Jesus called him Boanerges, in Mark 3:17.  It means “sons of thunder.”   This fits James for he was zealous, thunderous, passionate, and fervent.  There’s a place in spiritual leadership for those people who have thunderous personalities, and James was mentored and shaped by Christ.   With the power of the Holy Spirit, James became a man whose zeal and ambition was for God and the kingdom of God, and his strength and intolerance was for divine purposes and the protection of the truth.
