What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you? You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God. When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.
You adulterous people, don’t you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God? Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God. Or do you think Scripture says without reason that he jealously longs for the spirit he has caused to dwell in us? But he gives us more grace.
-James 4:1-6

Early Church Concern:
- Their passions drove their actions
- Their unfaithfulness... adultery
-Their actions: declared their allegiance and provoked God's jealousy

Present Day Concern:
-Worldliness is a real threat today. What encourages it? How is it manifested?
-Tools given for faithfulness

How shall we respond?
-Repent
-Be Converted
-Live our what we are.... in community!

Worldliness is a threat to our faithfulness. God help us to see and repent of any action or thought that is provoking His jealousy.

Thank you for watching. We hope that you were encouraged by what you heard!
