convey selfishness.

womenThe more we attempt to appease our lust, the more demanding it becomes. There simply is not enough erotica in the world to

satisfy lust’s insatiable appetite. Lust is to sex, what cancer is to a

normal cell.

3.Boasting

“Now listen, you who say, Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money. Why you don’t even know what will happen tomorrow. You

are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. Instead, you ought to say, If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that. As it is, you boast and brag. All such boasting is evil.”

JAMES 4:13-16

LOVING the WORLDBOASTING

Scripture is objective truth. As we meditate on it, and its truth becomes embedded in our hearts, then we are free

to love God.
