"He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways." James 1:7-8 NKJV
Don't be double minded and attempt to think in two different ways at the same time. For example, we come to church to get "the wisdom that is from above" (James 3:17), then leave church and get the wisdom from below and try to combine them. But it doesn't work. You cannot mix unleaded fuel and diesel fuel. The moment you do, you have canceled the unleaded because of the diesel--merely looking like gas doesn't mean it will help you. As Christians, we attend church on Sunday to get unleaded, and on Monday to go into the world and get diesel. Then we wonder why we're wearily laboring. Let's illustrate is this way: We have AM and FM frequencies on our radios: both different, both separate. When riding in a car, you choose which one to listen to; you can't listen to both at the same time, even though you have both options. The Bible says: "If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without each reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his way" (Jas 1:5-8 NKJV). God responds to a faith that is single minded and focused on His Word. So, the word for you today is-don't be double minded!
