Charles Spurgeon Commentary James 1:8

"a doubleminded man, unstable in all his ways." — James 1:8 (ASV)

A double minded man—

A man with two minds: one mind for religion and another mind to enjoy the pleasures of the world. Such a man...

Is unstable in all his ways.

There is nothing solid or substantial about him, nothing enduring; you cannot rely on him, for he is blown here and there, as chaff flies before the wind.

A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.

He sees double; he runs after two objects; and therefore he staggers across the street: he is unstable in all his ways.
