We continue our message series in James this Sunday after taking a break on Mother’s Day. If you take the Bible seriously, this book will challenge you to the core to examine your own life and relationships. We’ve looked at the untamed tongue, selfish ambition, selfish desire, and this Sunday we address the issue of submitting to God and resisting the devil. The purpose of the book of James is that we might be changed from who we used to be to who God wants us to be. He wants us to learn submission to His ways, and to learn to resist the devil’s ways. It is the absence of that which causes so much strife and conflict in the church of Jesus Christ. God wants so much more for us than that!
Think of life, family, church and work that has been deprived of selfish motives and has been acquainted with God’s ways! It is quite a picture for a lost world to comprehend. It would be supernatural! It would be God – and that’s exactly why James writes. Let your life be lived out in God’s power!
