DOUBLE-MINDED
Beware of a double-minded man,
Whose two faces are part of his game.
He has a double heart;
He two-times God without shame.
He says one thing but does another;
With a forked tongue he lies.
He talks from both sides of his mouth;
He pretends he is very wise.
He often leads a double life;
In two different worlds he abides.
Since good and bad can't co-exist,
On the wings of trouble he rides.
God's Word is a double-edged sword;
To a sinner it cuts like a knife.
It separates bad from good in a heart,
Then offers the sinner new life.
God can make him whole again--
He can make one man out of two.
When both are reconciled to Him,
The man can begin anew.
Be one in your mind and your heart.
Don't just talk the talk.
In order to travel the road to heaven,
You must walk the walk.
Becky Wall
5 If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. 6 But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind. 7 That person should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. 8 Such a person is double-minded and unstable in all they do.
James 4:7-10
7 Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 9 Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. 10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.
Psalm 119:108-115
Accept, Lord, the willing praise of my mouth, and teach me your laws.109 Though I constantly take my life in my hands,
I will not forget your law.
110 The wicked have set a snare for me,
but I have not strayed from your precepts.
111 Your statutes are my heritage forever;
they are the joy of my heart.
112 My heart is set on keeping your decrees
to the very end. 113 I hate double-minded people,
but I love your law.
114 You are my refuge and my shield;
I have put my hope in your word.
115 Away from me, you evildoers,
I have put my hope in your word.
115 Away from me, you evildoers,
