06/05/2022 FBC "Have We Missed the Boat?" James 4

"Where do wars and fights come from among you? Do they not come from your desires for pleasure that war in your members? You lust and do not have. You murder and covet and cannot obtain. You fight and war. Yet you do not have because you do not ask. You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures. Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God. Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, “The Spirit who dwells in us yearns jealously”? But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: “God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.” James 4:1-6

This message James is preaching to his church, not the world. Christians who war and fight can be ruthless with each other. James says not if you are truly walking in the spirit of the Lord! Do you justify your ways? Are you walking and living in Grace as Jesus desires? Let's take a look at what the Word of God has to say today.
