James 4 - Warning Against Worldliness

In this section, James is warning believers against worldly behaviors, mainly quarreling and fighting. Believers in Jesus Christ are called to display the characteristics of Christ. However, when we fight among ourselves, we can send the wrong message to people around us. James says, that if we choose to be friends of the world, we become enemies of God. That feels like James is hitting us across the head with a two-by-four. It’s a lot of heavy stuff! What does it mean to be a friend of the world? How are we supposed to handle this? Join us as we walk through this passage.
