James 4:1-10 - Friendship with God

Dave McCue Season 3 Episode 10
If the Bible defines the "world" as an organized system working against God, then it is no secret that friendship with the world is enmity with God. But what is the source of that desire to be friends with God's enemy? This text diagnoses the problem within us and leads us to a solution.

So roll up your sleeves, put your mind in gear, be totally ready to receive the gift that’s coming when Jesus arrives. Don’t lazily slip back into those old grooves of evil, doing just what you feel like doing. You didn’t know any better then; you do now. As obedient children, let yourselves be pulled into a way of life shaped by God’s life, a life energetic and blazing with holiness. God said, “I am holy; you be holy. [1 Peter 1:13-16]
