"Worthless" religion

In working on my small group lesson this week, I'm stuck again in James 1, and there's this verse (26) If   anyone   thinks  himself to be  religious , and yet does not  bb bridle  his  tongue  but  deceives  his own  heart ,  this   man's   religion  is  worthless . You could pretty much summarize my last 5 or 6 years right there.  I've deceived myself time and again, focusing on what was easy, felt good.  I can rationalize  anything, it seems. "Worthless" If accountability has taught me anything, though, it's that so long as you're sucking wind, you can change.  Goes right along with my One Step --> Focus less on myself and more on others.
