A Double Minded Man James 1:1-8

Introduction What is “double minded’? “Wavering, uncertain, doubting, having divided interests.” (Thayer) An attempt to honor two masters (Matthew 6:24)

Introduction Causes certain behavior Confusion, instability (Text) Indecisiveness an admirable trait to some in the world, but not God

Lessons For The Undecided Need to know where you are going Sure of our decisions (James 5:12) Some refuse to make decisions Either for or against Jesus (Matthew 11:28) Lip service not enough (Mark 12:28-34; Luke 6:46)

Lessons For The Undecided Many in this category Nonmembers who point out “flaws” in the Bible, church, preachers, etc. Find it hard to believe that God would “send” someone to hell Some members (Matthew 6:33)

Lessons For The Undecided Lord demands commitment Disciples “left all” (Luke 5:27, 28) Living sacrifices (Romans 12:1) Give ourselves (2 Corinthians 8:5) Never said it would be easy

Why Be Single Minded? Nothing else will satisfy the Lord Here to serve wholeheartedly (Luke 10:27) Not pleased with half-hearted service (Revelation 3:15, 16)

Why Be Single Minded? To be happy with ourselves No peace for the undecided Wretched hours spent in indecision (Genesis 19:26) Used by Jesus as an example (Luke 17:32)

Why Be Single Minded? Helps in making daily decisions Easier if we put God first Whether to assemble, pray, give is decided Joseph’s determination (Genesis 39:9) Daniel’s commitment (Daniel 1:8) Each right decision borne of an earlier one

Why Be Single Minded? Being indecisive is a sign of weakness World calls it tolerance Doesn’t like confident people Elijah said, “Choose,” not “Think about it” (1 Kings 18:21)

Conclusion Are you double minded? How committed are you to serve God?
