In The Word - James | Who Are You Close To?
It’s frustrating when we are watching a movie or a show, and the audio and video don’t align together. Similarly, in James 4, James is writing with concern that what the believers are saying isn’t lining up with how they are living. As Christians, we have to ensure that what we are saying aligns with how we are living. Many times, it doesn’t because, even though our spirit is redeemed, we still have our flesh that often pursues the passions and desires of the world. This is why it is important to ask ourselves the question: who are we close to? The answer to this question is important because what we are closest to influences us the most. No matter how many times we fall short though, God will never not want us. When we draw near to Him, He will draw near to us. Listen to this sermon about being close to Jesus versus being close to the world in the eleventh part of our In The Word series, walking through James.
