Today’s video lesson with the outline following regarding the two kinds of Wisdom James describes.
Two Kinds of Wisdom – James 3:13-18
Where this fits….
- Still connected to teachers and the tongue!
- The question is a challenge and an expectation – v. 13
- Who wants to volunteer as an example?
- Wait, we already have examples!
- It’s the action!
- Ties to 2:17
- Calls to mind Matthew 11:19 and Luke 7:35
- World’s currency is bitter envy and selfish ambition
- Plenty of that in today’s world….
- Example – how did the wealthy get that way?
- We are encouraged to be upset about it….
- Cannot come to the church with any of this attitude! Luke 16:8-9
- It will show (3:11)
- Such an attitude denies God’s truth….
- Heavenly wisdom disregards the world’s ways….
- Pure – all in one camp, no double-mindedness
- Sowing peace creates righteousness/justice!
- War and war crimes
- Widows and orphans? 1:27
- The poor – 2:5
