sometimes righteousness

James 4:7-10 (JDV)

James 4:7 That is why you should submit to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
James 4:8 Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
James 4:9 Be miserable and mourn and weep. Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom.
James 4:10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.

sometimes righteousness

Since God does not want frenemies, we need to take sides. We need to stop submitting to God sometimes and the devil other times. We need to stop being comfortable with a sometimes righteousness. We need to resist the devil at all times and submit to God at all times. Our hands and hearts are dirty with sin, and we must cleanse them.
