Get Humble

James 3:13-17

James addresses wisdom and humility. He speaks of living a life that is rooted in good deeds and humility overflowing from genuine faith. He also addresses those who think they are wise. James says that if you are acting out of jealous and selfish ambition that those action are evil.

People in our culture claim wisdom all the time. They write books about it and have terrible day-time TV shows surrounding it. True wisdom is not self proclaimed or advertised. It is the product of a Christ centered life as the out pour of our genuine faith. Faith is pure, not rooted in jealous or selfish ambition. We got to get humble and allow God's goodness to leak out in our lives.

Good word, Student-Dude! Glad to see not only you're openness to learn, but to share what you learn. That's the key to gaining more - be open to get and give so that there's room for more!

Keep it up!!
