In Chapter 4 of James, James speaks of pleasures (hedonism) as being the source of quarrels and conflicts among believers. Although no doubt pleasure-seeking is one of our major sin problems, I would think that power (control) would be the big bugaboo. Instead of letting God direct our lives, we are apt to want control ourselves.
I'm thinking - is power (control) a subset of pleasure (hedonism). If we look at it that way, how do we explain that reasoning.
