You Have to Get This Right
Donald Cantrell
James 4:13-15
New Year's Sermon
Jas 4:13 KJV - Go to now, ye that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain:
Jas 4:14 KJV - Whereas ye know not what [shall be] on the morrow. For what [is] your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.
Jas 4:15 KJV - For that ye [ought] to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that.
I - Man and His Inclined Boastings (13)
II - Man and His Inferred Brevity (14)
III - Man and His Implied Blundering (15)
This sermon contains a fully alliterated outline, with sub-points.
''The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.''
Mark Twain
In the United States, each and every one of us receive a birth certificate at birth, this piece of paper is given to the family and then it is recorded in the county and state of one's birth place. This piece of paper tells you when you were born, what time you were born, where you were born, but one thing is missing from this important document, do you know what is missing?
The document that tells you when, where, and what time, but it does not tell you why you were born? Therein lies the entire issue of mankind, we are born thinking that we are captain of our fate and that we are in full control of life.
In the scriptures before us we are going to peel back the layers of deception and take a real look at man's fate and his future. James is going to direct us as to how to get things right in life. Mankind likes to think that he is in charge, in control, and in thinking this way, he thinks that he is indispensable.
If you get anything right this year, you need to get this right, you are not God and you are not in control of the future. We cannot take life for granted and none of us have any control of today, much less tomorrow.
