Sin begins when we see God wrongly. In this episode, Pastors Whit and Gabe George walk through James 1:13–21, showing how maturity doesn’t come from behavior modification but from a heart that receives and trusts the Father who gives every good and perfect gift. When we see God clearly, we stop aiming at the wrong targets, let go of anger and judgment, and allow Him to reshape our desires.

In this episode, Whit mentions a prayer attributed to Dr. Samuel Johnson:

Almighty and most merciful Father, whose clemency I now presume to employ. After a long life of carelessness and wickedness, have mercy upon me. I have committed many trespasses. I have neglected many duties. I have done what you have forbidden, and I have left undone what you have commanded. Forgive, merciful Lord, my sins, negligences, and ignorances, and enable me by the Holy Spirit to amend my life according to thy Holy Word.
