David James Burrell, Reformed Dutch pastor, considers Christian growth. The old man in him was given over to self-gratification. The new man follows Jesus.
In this passage, he stresses that the specific character of Jesus developing is to be going about doing good.
Much of contemporary talk on Christian growth talks about enjoying devotions, not going about doing good.
How can you grow in Christ?

William Burkitt, Anglican vicar, on James 1:27. Caring for orphans and widows an eminent part of faith. Many may do tiny good deed for show. It’s only worship when done out of duty to God.
It’s interesting that Godly duty, authentic pity, and comforting words are three ways that makes charity into worship.
How can you worship God today?

John Brown, Anglican minister, writes on utilitarian benefits of charity: social order + maintaining private property + undoing the evils of selfish abuse of property.
Who today would be able to say all of the above? People want strife to undo property, or strife to shut up those who’d gripe about Inequality.
How can you speak the unpopular truths that those on your side won’t say, and also imitate Jesus in going about doing good?
