       Notice how James says, “have you not then made distinctions among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts.” That’s two things we need to analyze here: “distinctions” and “judges with evil thoughts.” Yes, I think the less distinctions we see within the people at church the better. What I mean is, the less the cliques. It certainly is true, and should be admitted here, that birds of the same feather flock together. And this is particularly true in our American setup of church going. Since we have so many choices, since God even allows us to pick where we want to go to church, hence The Law of Liberty, then we often find ourselves around people who think in a similar way to the way we think. That’s okay, though. Let’s not get too literal about this. But we can see cliques within a single body of believers. Often these cliques can be based on positions within the church. Like, for instance, all the leaders may tend to hang out together. This can become problematic when the group develops a feeling of superiority or awesomeness about themselves wherein they feel the are best and brightest within the church.
