EARTHLY, SENSUAL, DEMONIC (James 3:15-16)
In true Christian service, it is possible to be bitterly jealous of other workers, and to seek a prominent place for oneself. There is always a danger that worldly-wise men will be given places of leadership in the church. We must constantly guard against allowing worldly principles to guide us in spiritual affairs.
1. EARTHLY - This wisdom is not from heaven but from this earth.
2. SENSUAL - It is not the fruit of the Holy Spirit, but of man's lower nature.
3. DEMONIC - It stoops to actions that resemble the behavior of demons rather than of men.
Whenever you find envy and self-seeking , you will also find confusion, disharmony, and every other kind of evil.
