The Wisdom of James (IV): Learning to Lust Rightly

James tells us that the source of the violence in our lives is the "lusts," ie, strong desires that wage war inside of us.

What does Christ want us to do with these "lusts?" Throw cold water on them? Hardly!

Walking in Wisdom requires us to deal wisely with our desires.

Based on James 3:16-4:6. Preached by Matt Boulter on Sunday, September 23 at Christ Church in Tyler, TX.
