0:00.0	Good morning, everyone, and welcome back to another mornings with the masters for redeveloped
0:14.8	ourselves to the Lord daily with you. Good morning, you guys. Good morning, indeed. We
0:18.5	are picking back up a new morning mercy. So without further ado, Torj is going to take
0:22.5	it from here. Yes, y'all. Let's do it. Today's devotional says this. If your heart isn't
0:28.0	ruled by God's honor and your life by God's plan, you may seem religious, but what you're living
0:36.5	isn't biblical faith. I want to use marriage as a case study for the principal stated above.
0:43.6	None of us has lived in a marriage that is completely free of conflict and tension. None of us
0:50.2	has been able to escape moments of irritation and impatience. We all have had nasty arguments
0:57.5	or extended moments of silence. We all have been disappointed in our marriages in some way.
1:04.0	If your single apply everything I've said to a relationship in your life. Now, you just have to

1:40.1	parenting, diet, and so on, you will be able to avoid most of those conflicts.
1:46.7	On the surface, it sounds right, but it isn't what the Bible says. Consider the following
1:53.6	provocative passage in James 4 1 through 10. What causes quarrels and what causes fights among you?
2:03.3	Is it not this that your passions are at war within you? You desire and you do not have,
2:11.2	so you murder. You covet and cannot obtain, so you fight and quarrel. You do not have because you
2:18.6	do not ask. You ask and you do not receive because you ask wrongly to spend it on your passions.
2:26.8	You adulterous people. Do you not know that friendship with the world is to oppose God?
2:33.9	Therefore, whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
