After James 4:1-10
How do you
define the world?
Quarrels, fights,
passions at war
within, desire,
covetousness, pride,
misguided praises,
adulterousness.
To befriend that,
to be a friend
of the world,
is to be an enemy
of God, is to declare
war on heaven.
God is jealous;
he wants your heart.
It’s why he made
the spirit to dwell
within us.
