James 4:1

From whence come wars and fightings among you? come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?

It is believed that, based on the wisdom of the world, humans have a responsibility to identify what they want from life and to devise a plan to achieve it at any cost. The phenomenon has become so ingrained in our culture that even Christians are unlikely to perceive it as abnormal. As a consequence of this attitude, we tend to place a great deal of emphasis on ourselves. 
It is often our own inner lust for personal pleasures, possessions, power, and a pharisaical hypocrisy that is at the root of such conflicts. It is a difficult truth to accept. Unfortunately, Christians can sometimes be worse offenders than ungodly, pagan majorities in terms of fights, accusations, criticisms, envy, and pride. According to James, conflict arises from covetous lusts, an urge for pleasure and amusement, and self-centered desires.
However, praise be to God; when we recognize that our desire for good in the spirit is opposed by our desire for evil in the flesh, our response is available. The only one who can separate us from the suffocating power of sin and death is Jesus Christ. Not only did He pay the penalty for our sins, but He also broke the power of sin.
