4What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don't they come from your desires that battle within you?G4159G4171G2532G3163G1722G5213G3756G1782G1537G5216G2237G4754G1722G5216G31962You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God.G1937G2532G2192G3756G5407G2532G2206G2532G3756G1410G2013G3164G2532G4170G1161G2192G3756G1223G5209G154G33613When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.G154G2532G2983G3756G1360G154G2560G2443G1159G1722G5216G22374You adulterous people, don't you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God? Anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.G3432G2532G3428G1492G3756G3754G5373G2889G2076G2189G2316G3739G302G3767G1511G1014G5384G2889G2525G2190G23165Or do you think Scripture says without reason that he jealously longs for the spirit he has caused to dwell in us?G2228G1380G3754G1124G3004G2761G4151G3739G2730G1722G2254G1971G4314G53556But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: "God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble and oppressed."G1161G1325G3187G5485G1352G3004G2316G498G5244G1161G1325G5485G50117Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.G5293G3767G2316G436G1228G2532G5343G575G52168Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.G1448G2316G2532G1448G5213G2511G5495G268G2532G48G2588G13749Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom.G5003G2532G3996G2532G2799G5216G1071G3344G1519G3997G2532G5479G1519G272610Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.G5013G1799G2962G2532G5312G5209G531211Brothers and sisters, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against a brother or sister or judges them speaks against the law and judges it. When you judge the law, you are not keeping it, but sitting in judgment on it.G2635G3361G2635G240G80G2635G80G2532G2919G846G80G2635G3551G2532G2919G3551G1161G1487G2919G3551G1488G3756G4163G3551G235G292312There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and destroy. But you—who are you to judge your neighbor?G2076G1520G3550G3588G1410G4982G2532G622G5101G1488G4771G3739G2919G208713Now listen, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money."G33G3568G3004G4594G2532G839G4198G1519G3592G4172G2532G4160G4160G1563G1520G1763G2532G1710G1710G2532G2770G277014Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.G3748G1987G3756G3588G839G1063G4169G5216G2222G2076G1063G822G4314G5316G3641G1161G1899G85315Instead, you ought to say, "If it is the Lord's will, we will live and do this or that."G473G5209G3004G1437G2962G2309G2532G2198G2198G2532G4160G4160G5124G2228G156516As it is, you boast in your arrogant schemes. All such boasting is evil.G1161G3568G2744G1722G5216G212G3956G5108G2746G2076G419017So then, if you know the good you ought to do and don't do it, you sin.G3767G1492G4160G2570G2532G4160G3361G846G2076G266

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
