A sermon from Brent Kercheville.

The book of James gives a warning about a person who is double-minded.

But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways. (James 1:6-8 ESV)

The warning of this scripture of one of having divided loyalties so that we do not trust in the Lord yet for some reason are still coming to God in prayer. James is not speaking to the doubts we have because we do not know the future or wonder what is going to happen. We see many people in the scriptures wonder what is going to happen or not know what is going to happen next (see David in the Psalms). The problem is that you ask God not in faith, doubting, because you are double-minded with God. This problem is illustrated in the life of the nation of Judah in the book of Jeremiah. Open your copies of God’s word to Jeremiah 37-39 and we are going to look at the problem of being double-minded people with double-minded prayers…
