The Battle with Desire James 4:1-12

Desire. Desire has gone bad and mad in each one of us. But in Christ our desires are being transformed. However, we often find ourselves on a campaign of seeking our own pleasures - James 4:1. (We get our word hedonism from this word pleasure — pleasure becomes the chief goal of life). When we live this way the end result is quarrels and conflict. But God has a different way.
