The Book of James Wk 6: Stop the Spiritual Hokey Pokey

The Book of James Wk 6: Stop the Spiritual Hokey Pokey 4 You adulterous people, don't you know that friendship with the world is hatred toward God? Anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God. 5 Or do you think Scripture says without reason that the spirit he caused to live in us envies intensely?a 6 But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: "God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble." 7 Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 9 Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. 10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up. James 4:4-10 (NIV) Worldly Flirts: 1. Constantly look for a FIGHT. (vs 4:1) 2. Have hidden MOTIVES. (vs 4:3) 3. Constantly CRITICIZE. (vs 4:11) How to be Committed to the Marriage: 1. Practice HUMILITY. (vs 4:6) 2. Submit to your SPOUSE. (vs 7-8) 3. Value Faithfulness over EMOTION. (vs 9-10) One Last Though: Being all in is not as HOKEY as the WORLD Thinks!
