James Chapter 3 - November 25, 2008

3:1 - Hold everything! Nobody told me this in preaching class at DCC...oh man, this is not good! Anybody know if their companies are hiring?

3:5ff - It is insane when you think about it...this freaky piece of muscle and corpuscle in our mouths has the ability to destroy our lives. Think about all the horrible situations you have been in...chances are, that those situations became the horrible situations they were because somebody (I'm SURE it wasn't YOU!) let their tongue flap out of control. It is vital as a mature believer to be men and women who seek to control the words that come out of their mouths.

3:9 - How do we do it? How on earth do we praise God with the same mouths we use to call curses down on people around us who are created in His image?

3:13ff - You can tell the type of wisdom you are using and the people around you are using, by the environment you are creating. If it is an environment of chaos and sinfulness...you're probably not using Godly wisdom. Godly wisdom produces peace. What type of world are you promoting?
