HOW TO RELATE WISELY TO OTHERS
Developing a Faith That Works - Part 9 of 15
James 3:13-18
Rick Warren
Every day you encounter many different kinds of people.
Some are very delightful.
Some are very
difficult.
Some of them are inspiring.
Some of them are irritating, fascinating, intimidating.
The fact is, a
lot of the problems we have in life are because of personality conflicts.
We don't get along with people.
When your relationships are bad, life stinks.
Life is miserable.
You may have lots of money and lots of
opportunities but if your relationships are bad, you're miserable.
It's very important that we learn how
to get along with other people.
James gives some practical advice.
Today we're going to look at what he has to say about, “How do
we relate wisely to other people”.
v. 18 is the key verse, "And those who are peacemakers will
plant seeds of peace and reap a harvest of goodness."
James says, every day in every relationship,
you're planting seeds.
Seeds of anger, jealousy, peace, confidence, insecurity, many different kinds of
seeds.
So you will inevitable reap in your relationships.
How can I plant seeds of peace?
How can I
be a peacemaker?
How can I have peaceful relationships?
Wisdom.
We need to learn how to be wise in the way we act toward people.
Often we treat people in
very foolish ways and we provoke the exact opposite behavior of what we would normally like to see in
them.
Common sense is not so common.
A lot of smart people are not too wise.
They may be
educated but they don't have wisdom.
They may have all kinds of degrees but they're a washout with
relationships.
James, in this passage, does three things: he defines real wisdom, then he shows how it
differs from human wisdom, then he details how it operates.
