James 3:16 NASB "For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder and every evil thing." It may be hard to admit! Today we read about two words that we need to make sure aren't part of our life! I've seen it happen on the golf course, a fishing pier, a company lunch room and even in a church. What I saw was jealousy and selfishness take over a person's life. I've seen golf clubs broken because of a bad swing, fishing poles thrown into the water because of a missed catch, men fist fighting in a lunch room when the goal was to put the other man down and I've seen people leave churches because they didn't get their own way. The end of today's verse speaks the Truth, with jealousy and selfishness leading our lives, disorder and evil will abound. Let's try and remember, it wasn't about Christ as He went to the Cross - it was for you and me  and others! peace, tom
