You unfaithful people! Don’t you know that friendship with the world means hostility toward God? So whoever wants to be the world’s friend becomes God’s enemy. Or do you suppose that scripture is meaningless? Doesn’t God long for our faithfulness in the life he has given to us? But he gives us more grace. This is why it says, God stands against the proud, but favors the humble. Therefore, submit to God. Resist the devil, and he will run away from you. Come near to God, and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners. Purify your hearts, you double-minded. Cry out in sorrow, mourn, and weep! Let your laughter become mourning and your joy become sadness. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up. (James 4:4-10, CEB)
Humble yourself before the Lord and the lord will lift you up.
Do not be friends with the world and follow where they want you to go. I have heard this so much that progressive Christianity is simply following after the world, but if you look at the current state of affairs in the United States it seems that conservative Christianity is following the nation and not what Christ has called us to.
We need to humble our selves and know that God’s ways are not our ways and to say things can not change from what we have always known is saying that God doesn’t change us. God loves us so much God would never leave us as we are.
Be humble and follow God not your own desires.
Loving People. Loving God.
