James opening words of this passage are difficult to hear. I’m sure it got their attention. In essence, he was claiming that they had been unfaithful to God in some way. Something in the world had attracted them away from their love of God. They had been like an unfaithful spouse, cheating on God, loving something else more than God. How about you? Is there a worldliness about you that brings into question your devotion to God? Are you making this world your home?
