2 Kinds of Wisdom

In James 3:13-18, we are given a framework to evaluate our lives. James says we are either ruled by the wisdom of the world or the wisdom of God. So, which kind of wisdom controls you?

The World's Wisdom:
Origin: earthly, unspiritual, demonic (v. 15).
Characterisitcs: bitter jealousy and selfish ambition (v. 14, 16).
Results: disorder and every evil practice (v. 16).

God's Wisdom:
Origin: from above; from God (v. 17).
Characteristics: humble, pure, peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial, and sincere (v. 13, 17).
Results: a harvest of righteousness (v. 18).
