       When we live in sin, and don’t seek to be pleasing to God both with big choices and everyday items, if we never pray, if we don’t know the Scriptures, if we are inattentive in helping others, if it’s all about us—as it was for the people making the profit here in James—then we are missing the whole picture. Another thing I would say is that it is important for us to consolidate and focus our lives. What I mean is that a lot of us spend time on things, whatever those things be, of which aren’t really fruitful for us. How fruitful are your relationships, your friendships? Are you are aligned with the right people? Does the church you attend really represent your internal beliefs, and are the people supportive and positive? Or, in certain areas do you find resistance? You find that you are just going through the motions but those motions really aren’t coming from your heart; they aren’t what you really want. I believe it is sin for us to spend our time focusing on things that don’t come from our hearts.
