James 1:22-25 Which specialist army unit deploys an inconsistent marksman to take out an enemy target?  Which coach puts forward an inconsistent striker to take the deciding penalty?  Yet, if we’re honest with ourselves (and I’m speaking of things pertaining to our Christian walk), we leave far too much margin for error in our lives.  Inconsistencies which ought to be consistencies, variables which ought to be constants; and yet, when I open the Word of God, I don’t see these margins of error being left us for waver.  Instead, I see imperatives (instructional commands) where the expectation is for full compliance! This sermon is an exhortation for believers to lay hold on God and to press through into a life of consistency.
