Asking For Wisdom (1)

Posted on 28 February 2009 by Peter Young

If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking. But when you ask him, be sure that your faith is in God alone.

Their loyalty is divided between God and the world, and they are unstable in everything they do. (James 1:5-8)
