—James 3:13-16
by: Leota Stevens.
Don’t just say it; display it! James sure hits the nail on the head in these verses. I have found in working with churches and community organizations that nothing stops the ministry more coldly than envy and self-seeking. These two actions are like an invasive cancer that can in time, if left untreated, destroy precious individuals and completely undermine the worthiness of the mission. If we find ourselves infected with these two deadly diseases, then we must repent, or we risk becoming a conduit for evil and bringing shame upon the name of Jesus.
