A Reformed Perspective on the Book of James
Planning for the Future
May 29, 2015 • James 4:13-17
A lot of us find it all but impossible to live without calendars
today. Check the Google Calendar or Franklin Day Planner for most of us
and you will see dates written down many months into the future: planned
vacations, upcoming weddings, appointments at school or work. You
name it, and we mark it down even a year or more in advance. So how do
we square all that planning with Jesus’ famous words in the Sermon on
the Mount about not worrying about tomorrow? Or, as we will discuss
today on Groundwork, how do we square all of that with some very direct
words of caution from the Apostle James about not letting all our future
planning cause us to stumble in our faith? Join us as together we
discover what James thinks is the appropriate way to plan for the
future.
