       There has to be that cleaning, that purification, that recognition of what sin is, and really what it is not, so that we can then, in turn, draw near to God. Double-mindedness is a serious problem for us. We are double-minded in that, on the one hand, we desire to do what God wants us to do, and then, on the other hand, we desire to live in a way that isn’t God approved. Yes, we are in serious trouble in this case. We cannot be close to God. And, we are in the process of becoming less like we really want to be. We are moving less and less toward the character we really want to exemplify. We are in the process of unbecoming. It is my belief, unquestionably so, that one has be “Be wretched and mourn and weep” in recognition of the ways one identifies in his or her life that are not moving them toward God. This is an important and necessary process. There has to be an identification where, and really this is the whole point of our study here in the Book of James.
