“A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.” (KJV)
The scourge of the twenty-first century is half‑hearted Christianity. This kind of Christianity comes from a person trying to serve two masters. We awake every morning and we make our beds, we make our breakfast, we make-up our face, but we struggle to make up our minds, as it pertains to committing to Christ wholeheartedly.
James 1:8 declares, “A double minded man is unstable in all his ways." That word double‑minded literally means "two souls." Here's a man trying to face both ways at the same time. He's trying to live with one foot in the church and one in the world. He's got just enough of the world in him that he can't be happy in church. And he's got just enough Christ in him he can't be happy in the world. He is a spiritual schizophrenic. He is a two-soul man.
We are to love the Lord with all our heart. Is there anything in your life you love more than the Lord Jesus Christ? If so, then my friend, that thing—whatever or whoever it is—has become an idol in your life. Realizing that, what steps can you take today to remove it from the throne and put Christ back in His proper place in your life?
