Gross

I've missed a few weeks of sermons while I was helping with children's ministry, so I was "catching up" a bit today online.

Here's what caught my attention in particular (studying James 1):

Rick Gamache: "External enticements only have power over us because of our internal desires. In other words, every sin is an inside job."

Or, as Calvin puts it: "James' goal is to teach us that there is in us the root of our own destruction."

So....we're gross.

Thank goodness Jesus purchased for us an escape from every temptation (1 Cor 10:13).
