James Chapter 3

James 3:17-18 ~ The Components of God’s Wisdom

"The word hypocrisy is a drama or theater term. It means to answer according to the script. A hypocrite is somebody who will go to church and learn all the language, and everything you are supposed to say, and 'Amen' and 'Praise the Lord' and 'God Bless You.' They learn the lingo of the Bible and how you are supposed to function around Christians; they learn the script.  But in their life they have no substance, Christ is not there. "The wisdom from above is not an act. I Corinthians chapter 1 verse 30 and 31 tells us that wisdom is Christ Himself. There is no act. It is not a human effort. I am not supposed to act like a Christian. That is responding according to the script. I am supposed to be a Christian. I am supposed to be surrendered to Christ and His Spirit; and to use my tongue, and to use my life so that He might express His person and His substance.  It is called glory.  It is not an act."
