I'm sure you can remember times when you were young when you asked mom or dad for permission to go somewhere, but they said "no" to your request. Something like not letting you stay out past midnight, or not being able to go to a certain party. Generally, they had our best interest at heart, even though we didn't see eye to eye. There are also some things that our Heavenly Father says we are to avoid, and for our own good I might add. Today on Growing in the Word, pastor Jim Jarrett takes us to James chapter three.
