James
3:1-18
For every kind of beast and
bird, of reptile and sea creature, can be tamed and has been tamed
by mankind, but no human being can tame the tongue.
How's your speech? What bubbles out
when you are angry? How quick are you to comment when things don't
work out the way you hoped? Who is suffering right now because of
the words that you spoke over them? is there more wisdom in our
words or in our silence? What do the words we use have to say about
our spiritual condition?
James wants to tell us that "what we
say = what's inside" and we may have not just a mouth issue but a
heart issue as well. The saints have told us from ancient times
that "what comes out of the mouth finds its source in the heart."
Join us as we study the ancient text to filter our modern hearts
that stream out poison and praise.
