James 3: 13-18 NIV
13Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. 14But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth. 15Such "wisdom" does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, of the devil. 16For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice.
17But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. 18Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness.
That is the section that should have been read at the church. Instead of always chasing after the next big thing, become the peacemakers who sow in peace. I know I sure have needed this scripture in times past. Glad I found it. I will do my best to start putting this into practice at work.

Isn't it funny how at the former church the key parts of the Word were so conveniently left out? And the parts that were read were conveniently strung together to create a false gospel to further a personal agenda.
