Why Your Desires Are Sabotaging You in Hard Times // Bonus Episode // Undivided

So, I mean, it's talking about being di-psychos was the way some people pronounce it.

That was a new word for me.

Yeah.

The Greek word, double-minded.

I love the word double-souled.

I actually wish it had been translated a little bit that way.

It's this idea of placing our trust in multiple places.

And then actually what happens next in the chapter that we don't get to, we didn't get to on Sunday, is James jumps in with like an example that is very, there's there's a real dichotomy between those who have wealth and those who don't at the time.

And in particular, most of the Christians that James is speaking to are more on the side of poverty.

Some are wealthy and definitely the Romans that they're under are wealthy.

And this is what he kind of says as an example of it.

He says, believers who are poor have something to boast about for God has honored them in verse nine.

And those who are rich should boast that God has humbled them.

They will fade away like a little flower in the field.

The hot sun rises and the grass withers.

The little flower droops and falls and its beauty fades away.

in the same way the rich will fade away with all their achievements.

And what he's kind of getting at here, there's a play on words that doesn't really come out in the English, kind of both sides of scarcity in some ways.

And he's using this as an example of being double-souled.
