The opening verses of James 4 describe believers torn asunder by internal, bitter strife. There is an inward cause of the outward quarrels in the church: the cravings for pleasure (the word in Greek gives us our word hedonism). These sinful desires, which Paul metaphorically refers to as the flesh, are actively making war against our higher, spiritual motivations. The Christian life involves a protracted battle which, if not governed by the wisdom from above (James 3:17), spills out to the church itself and causes spiritual trauma among believers. Good Morning, all. Jesus Bless..:-):-)
