James 4:1-10

Submit Yourselves to God

What causes fights and quarrels among you?  Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you? You desire but do not have, so you kill.  You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight.  You do not have because you do not ask God. When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.

You adulterous people, don’t you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God?  Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God. Or do you think Scripture says without reason that he jealously longs for the spirit he has caused to dwell in us? But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says:

“God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.”

Submit yourselves, then, to God.  Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you.  Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Grieve, mourn and wail.  Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.

    Welcome to St Mungo's Youth

    St Mungo’s Youth are the 11-18 year olds at St Mungo’s, and this is our website… Welcome!

    There’s about 100 of us and we’re anything but boring!  We go on trips and have weekly youth clubs to have fun and meet new people. We have weekly discipleship groups where we build on our friendships and learn and experience more of our relationships with God, and we take our faith into our local community through serving projects.  We also have opportunities to stretch ourselves through young leaders and young musicians which meet monthly.

    Why not have a look through our website to see what’s happening now?  We hope to see you sometime soon!
