James: The Power of the Tongue
Manage episode 440081288 series 1032776
Sermon Scripture: James 3
James argues that any pretense of being a follower of Christ that doesn't result in a serious working-over of our speech habits is falling short. How we use language — what we say and how we say it — is a central and vital part of what it means to be truly human.
The real work of taming the tongue is not just about habit stacking or self control, it is heart work. Jesus, and now James, make it clear that what comes out of the mouth is a sign of what is really deep in the heart.
So, we once again return to the familiar invitation. Ask and it will be given to you, but what should we be asking for? WISDOM that comes from God. This is the source of re-ordering our heart’s desires, then this powerful little tongue may be used for the good it was intended.
