…When It Comes Personal Desires? How Is Your Faith… …When It Comes Personal Desires? James 4:1-6a

The Cause Of Many Wars Quarrels and conflicts Brought about by personal desires/appetites Examples: Cain and Abel (Gen. 4:8) Paul and Barnabas (Acts 15:36-40) Churches: Corinth had many (1 Cor. 1:10) Churches in Galatia (Gal. 5:15) Philippi had two “warring women” (Phil. 4:2)

Brethren ought to be at peace with each other (Psa. 133:1; 2 Cor Treating one another equitably (James 2:1, 9) Respect the personal choices of others (Rom. 14:1, 4, 10) Don’t just seek to please self (Rom. 15:1, 6)

What Choice Do We Make? Adulteresses? What advantage is it? Seems most likely to be spiritual Israel (Jer. 3:6-10) Be faithful to Christ (2 Cor. 11:2) Loyalty is required (Matt. 6:24) What advantage is it? Winding up as an enemy with God? What do you gain (Mk. 8:38)? Cf. 2 Timothy 3:4

God Expects More From Us Proper understanding Verse 5 differs radically in WH/TR We have a spirit in us given by God (Gen. 2:7) God expects the best for us (1 Tim. 2:4) God has provided for us, more than we can imagine Through grace (Eph. 2:8) Utilized in service to another (1 Peter 4:10)
