Faith That Works

Scott Young ~ Pastor of Hope

If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him.

- James 1:5

Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good conduct let him show his works in the meekness of wisdom.

– James 3:13

FALSE WISDOM

But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth. 15 This is not the wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. 16 For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice. – James 3:14-16
