James wants us to see our inordinate desires for what they really are, that is, to take the mask off. Our problem is we tend to minimize our sin, something endemic and just indigenous to fallen humanity. We have a low view of sin. We don't think that sin is that big a deal and the world system says that. It justifies sin continually so we are surrounded by messages that are continually telling us our sin is not that big a deal. Our own pride minimizes our sin, blames others. And the devil himself is wanting to lie to us continually to minimize our sin. Part of our problem is that we desire things we shouldn't desire and we need to kill those desires. But it's not just desires for bad things that's our only problemAnother large part of our problem. It's that we desire good things too much. We want good things more than we should. We want them so much that we want them more than we want to be pleasing to God.
