01/09/2011 - Deo Volente (God Willing) - James 4:11-17

Does your speech reflect a desire to build up or tear down? When you make plans do they reflect God's will first or is He more of an after thought? As we study through the Book of James, we consistently see that James' goal is to preach one theme, that of applying the gospel in our lives. To seek the truth of scripture and apply it to our hearts. In these verses James asks us to open our hearts and reveal what is at the root of both our speech and our plans.
