Friends with the World
All week we have been thinking about friendship. This morning I want to challenge a scripture that maybe has been misunderstood in some circles. 


James 4:4-6

4 You adulterous people,[a] don’t you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God? Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God. 5 Or do you think Scripture says without reason that he jealously longs for the spirit he has caused to dwell in us[b]? 6 But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says:

‘God opposes the proud

   but shows favour to the humble.’
