"Earthly, unspiritual, demonic." Doesn't James' description make you think a little of our political leaders? I've always thought wisdom was wisdom and that wisdom was good. But James knows better and he has good advice: " do not boast and be false to the truth."

James 3:13-17

Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good conduct let him show his works in the meekness of wisdom.

But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth.
This is not the wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic.
For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there will be disorder and every vile practice.
But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere.

  1. The bible does say that evil will prevail in many governments and the leaders will be running to and fro. There will be mass confusion . Liers will lead many astray.

  2. Wow Kim. What a wonderful blessing to read your tweet on this Saturday morning. How true! I just came across your blog spot because I tweeted Tucker Carlson because I was excited about Ricky Skaggs being on Fox & Friends (I am a bluegrass musician). Keep up the good work and God bless!
