Get Serious

If you and I profess to be Christians, we are the bride of Christ. And Bride means lover, loyalty, commitment, submission, Where He goes we go, where He stays we stay, His passions and our passions are supposed to meld as we are One Unit. We’ve left our parents - the flesh, and our lodgings - in the world but no longer of it - to join our Husband. And James slaps a bunch of so-called Christians who are arguing because we’re so smart, and got it all figured out, and we start idolizing our own so-called wisdom, and in the process demonizing anyone else who disagrees. James grips us by the shirt and convicts us, “Cheaters! Adulteresses! You’ve taken a lover on the side! Don’t you know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God?”
