A Warning to Presumptuous Planners-James 4:13-17

The Prince of Preachers, Spurgeon declared, "In the nature of things, you cannot live much longer; yet how strange it is that men often think that they will continue to live though they expect that others will die! I heard, only this week, of a man of eighty-six who expects some property to come to him, but there is another man's life that delays his possession of it, and he is eight-four; yet the older man told a friend of mine that he expected very soon to inherit the property as the person who held it was a very old man, and could not live much longer, though he himself was two years older;--an admirable commentary on the words of the poet, 'All men think men mortal but themselves.'" Along that same vane, this coming Lord's Day we'll finish James 4 with a look at "A Warning to Presumptuous Planners" (Jas 4:13-17).
