So much of the chaos in our lives revolves around what we root our lives in and around.  The thing under the thing impact all that we do...are we rooted in Christ or in the world.  James, once again points us in the right direction.

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