This is my entire guideline in life and in politics. I am tired of the name calling, the lies and the hypocrisy. My wisdom will be based on the truth of God's word which says to provide for the good of everyone and will not serve corporations but the work of God's hands. God commanded us to love one another and to seek the good of others above ourselves. If we devour one another we will be devoured. Show me your works and let me see how you have used your power for the good of those who have no power!
Evil produces confusion. On the other hand, God brings harmony and wisdom . Anyone who is involved in envy and strife is confused. This confusion corrupts human relationships. James wanted his readers to set aside their petty attitudes and seek reconciliation. Bitterness, envy, and selfish behavior thoroughly corrupt a person.
3:13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that his works are done in the meekness of wisdom. 14 But if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth. 15 This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic. 16 For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there. 17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy. 18 Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.
