What are you "attracted" to?

Scripture:
"Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded."
-James 4:7-8/NIV

Observation: from "The Bible Knowledge Commentary"-
"Like a magnet, the call for commitment has both positive and negative poles: submit . . . to God and resist the devil. “Submit” is a military term “to be subordinated” or “to render obedience.” “Resist” (antistēte) means “take a stand against.” Take a stand against the devil, and he will flee. On the other hand draw near to God and He will come near in response. To draw near to God, however, demands His cleansing. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Both “wash” and “purify” are verbs that refer to ceremonial cleansing, a figure that spoke eloquently to Jewish converts. The need for cleansing is clear from the way James addressed his readers, “you sinners” and “you double-minded.”

Application:
In the context of true humility we see that knowing who you are is essential. Are you allowing the world and the voice of Satan be your influence? Or are you, as a result of salvation, allowing Christ to lead you in the way you should go? We need to take a stand against the forces of evil, the sin that easily corrupts us. Let us not be double-minded, but instead let us wash our hands of anything sinful, and anything that will cause us to stumble. It's better to live an uncomfortable life of self-sacrifice than it is to allow the sinful life to influence us any longer. As it says in Thessalonians, "throw out anything tainted with evil." So what holds us back? Why do we allow there to even be a division between spirit and flesh? Are we no longer slaves to the world or to our flesh? So how is it that we compromise so easily as Christians due to laziness, or personally bias. We're to be in the world and not of it correct? So why do we download music illegally, let apathy to crisis and need grow, and choose to ignore what happens in the field of abortion and homosexuality. What do we let into our lives that we shouldn't? So let us submit ourselves to God, and turn away from the old and begin living anew in the grace and atonement of Christ.
