The Tongue: The Power And Purpose Of Our Words

Contributed by Billy Ricks on Nov 13, 2010

James is presenting practical Christianity. He has told us faith without works is dead. In other words a prayer that doesn't change our practices is powerless. Meeting Jesus changes us permanently and continually. This impacts our works and our words.
