Far too often we like to justify ourselves and our sin by saying things like "God made me like this". The Apostle James lays into that way of thinking and in no uncertain terms commands that we stop saying things like that. Our sinful desires are internal, not external. They spring forth from our hearts, they are not downloaded into us by God.
Join us this week as Gary Fox points out the careful distinction the Apostle James makes between "desire" and "sin"...they are not one in the same.
