    James helps us humble ourselves before God and walk in the faith we hold. This is nowhere truer than in our words.

    Who are you and What is your life? This study of James has been putting me in my place over and over.

Before we move ...read more

    Words matter. Proverbs gives us some advice on how to speak well.

    One of the most difficult things to do in life is to control what you say. We do a good job for a while but then in one weak moment and we can do irreparable damage.

All but the most callous are heartbroken at the thoughts of friends and loved ones spending an eternity far from God. And yet. . ...read more
