Is your Faith Working for You?
What about your Future?
James 4:13-17

I.  Introduction

II.  The common Mistakes

A.  ---Planning--- without God.  (v. 13)

Include God in your goal setting

Three possible response to God's will:

1.  ---reference----

2. ----deference---

3. ----preference---

B.  ---Presuming--- about tomorrow.  (vv. 14, 16)

Why we should not presume about the future:

1.  Life is ---unpredictable---.

2.  Life is ---brief---.

Plan for the future but you can only live now.

C.  ---Putting off--- doing good.  (v. 17)

Just because you know the right thing to do doesn't mean you are going to do it.

The solution is:  Do it NOW!

Two things last forever:

1.  The Word of God

2.  People
