Description
There's a kind of not-knowing-yourself that's harmless, even sweet. And there's a kind that can rip your life apart.
James writes to people who say "Jesus is Lord" but whose lives tell a different story. He calls them double-souled. Divided. And the worst part is, they can't see it. They're self-deceived.
So how do you find the gaps in your life when you're the last person who can see them?
James gives us three telltales: what makes you angry, what comes out of your mouth, and how you treat people who can do nothing for you. And then he puts a mirror in front of us, exposing the gaps between who we think we are and how we actually live.
It's frightening. And ultimately freeing.
