James is clear that the problem in our lives is not the people in our lives, not the difficult people. It's not the difficult circumstances that we find ourselves in. The problem is in our hearts. That's why we sin in anger. That's why we sin at all. It all comes from the heart. James agrees with Jesus, his elder brother, that "It's not what goes into the man that defiles a man but it's what comes out of the heart." James is essentially saying the same thing. The reason that we have conflicts is because we have pleasures in our hearts that are waging war. The lusts of our flesh wage war and they are the things that lead us into conflict. So how does that stop? It stops with repentance and what does that look like in our lives.
