We're in a fight

Tuesday - 8/21 - James 3:13-18

Earthly wisdom is based on a system of understanding life that leaves God out of the picture.

Is this the default setting for your life? If it is, is this what you want?

Paul warns us not to be "conformed any longer to the pattern (wisdom) of this world. (Rom 12:2)"

Do you feel a pull in this direction? It's the default way even Christians live life. We need to discern and avoid this "operating system" or wisdom.

Think about it! Is there a need in your life to identify which operating system or wisdom you're defaulting to?

While we are living in this world, we must know there will be the pressure on us to figure out life in a worldly way because that's the way most folks around us are seeing life.

If you sense this difficulty--good! We need to realize we are in a fight. We need to identify the reality of the world around us and how others, who do not know Christ, are processing life.

Read James 4:1-12 for next Sunday
