Passage: James 3:14-16 Speaker: Pastor Lukus Counterman Series: Faith that Works
Speaker: Lukus Counterman - James establishes the existence of two kinds of wisdom: one from above, the heavenly, and the other from below, the demonic. He takes time in (James 3:13-18) to describe the characteristics, sources, and fruit of each of these types of wisdom. Today we will be examining wisdom from below, and we will discover that where such pollution of the soul exists, there is disorder and vile practice soon to follow. When we see jealousy or selfish ambition, we should be on the watch for earthly wisdom. In those moments we must repent and run to Christ who is the wisdom of God. We must ask him for wisdom from above so that we can live a life that pleases Him. May the Lord help us to seek him and His wisdom for life.
