I do want and need to draw this distinction between the actual wars that we see going on around us in Ukraine and elsewhere in the world, but they are ultimately linked, and those wars that we do see are actually an outworking of what we are going to be looking at in this passage, but perhaps obviously what I want to focus on is the church, the body of Christ, us, those of us who have been saved, forgiven, those of us who have been loved by the Lord Jesus Christ. And we've seen through the book of James so far that we've been taught to ask for wisdom. We have already seen how we ought to behave towards one another, how we had to speak to one another. And the whole book is obviously intertwined and we can't look at this chapter 4 without bringing in some of the lessons that we've seen in earlier chapters. And the previous Chapter 3 is a direct foundation for Chapter 4. It leads directly into Chapter 4. And in chapter 3, we saw what an instrument for good or evil the tongue can be and together with that what's the nature of wisdom? And James was directed to the point, and we saw expressions such as the tongue is set on fire by hell. Jon Lloyd unwraps James 4:1-11
