Desires: A message from James 4:1-10
We can have desires for good or evil.
They can lead us to love the world and its pleasures, rejecting Jesus. They can result in violent and harmful acts. They can destroy the life and witness of a believer and others. They can dishonour Jesus the one and only Saviour of sinners.
Our desires should be to honour Jesus: ourselves and for others to do so too.

  2. Unfulfilled Desires (James 4:2-6)
