    In James chapter 3, James contrasts two kinds of wisdom: worldly wisdom and godly wisdom. The fruits that result from these two kinds of wisdom couldn't be any more different from each other.

Some people attribute that quote to John Wayne. 3. I don’t know if the Duke did or didn’t say those words. 4. The line doesn’t appear in ...read more
