Looking around at Christians today, you would think that we are most bitter, hateful, depressed, angry, judgmental, critical, self-hating, self-loathing, complaining, whiny, sniveling, griping and miserable people you have ever met. And…you would be right. When…we live as ourselves and not in the person we are in Jesus Christ. When…we live without the God of the Bible and the power of the Holy Spirit guiding us on a daily basis. Oh sure, some days, we wake up a little cranky or grumpy-bumpy as we like to say in the Noe household. However, that is not the life that God intended for us to live and the life that Christ died for. As we go back into the book of James, let us see both how we should be living and how we should not.
