James 4:16

‘But now you glory in your arrogant words. All such glorying is evil.'

But instead of doing that they glory in their arrogant words. They say ‘we will do this and that' regardless of their mortality, and of God and eternity. But to glory in that way is evil. It is to be casual over what is very important. It is to follow the way of the world, and be a friend of the world. It is to indicate that their minds are not set on things above. It is to live in the light of this world, and not of eternity. It is to be earthly minded and not heavenly minded. It is to overlook the requirements of God, and His concern for their daily lives.
