Just Do It- James 4 (Doing vs. Not Doing)

We're continuing through our "Just Do It" series on Sundays based from James 1:22. Here's a thought from Sunday and James chapter 4: Doing vs. Not Doing.

We often think of our sin in terms of the bad/evil/wrong things that we do. The church phrase for those sins are sins of comission. Things we do. Sins we commit. But this week I was struck by the power of James 4: 17: "So, for the person who knows to do good and doesn't do it, it is a sin". These are sometimes known as sins of omission. These are easier for us to overlook. Easier for us to ignore. But God doesn't.

Comission vs. omission. Doing vs. not doing. We must remember that not doing the right things is just as bad as doing the wrong things.
