    Stewardship is not only about how we manage our money; but we are also stewards of how we manage our tongues. The powerful influence of our words is examined in the light of James’ exhortation.

    James considers the tongue significant because: 1. OUR TONGUES CAN DIRECT OUR LIVES (vs. 2-4) 2. OUR TONGUES CAN DESTROY OUR LIVES (vs.6) 3. OUR TONGUES CAN DISPLAY OUR LIVES (vs. 9-12)

    “TAMING THE TONGUE” “the rudder of our lives” James 3:2-12 Fr. Christopher M.

    James was a no nonsense leader of the early church. His letter was written to specific issues in the church, those issues exist today.

    Study of James: Wisdom and Practical Christian Living The Book of James is probably the oldest book of the New Testament, written perhaps as early as A.D. 45, before the first council of Jerusalem in A.D. 50.

     | 6,410 views

    James tells us how control of our tongue is an important indicator of our walk of faith.

    Communicating with words is one of the distinguishing marks of human existence. It makes possible the clearest level of understanding, the conserving and transmission of knowledge from the past, and the sharing of information from one intelligent being to another. Like so many aspects of human ...read more

    This sermon makes us aware that our words do harm others and offers insight on how to change our thinking so the things we say will bring up-building to others

    Just so you know the title of this sermon isn’t about how to discipline my 2 year old grandson Kaden. Even though it’s pretty hard to get a handle on a 2 year old strong willed little boy , it’s even harder to get a handle on something each of us possess that is much, much ...read more

     | 5,523 views

    Controlling the tongue. Why is it so hard? Is the control of the tongue a valid indicator of our spiritual condition? James give us some illustrations that are very useful in defining the ravages of an out of control tongue.

    Let’s ponder on this for a moment before we plunge into today’s Scripture. 1 Samuel 2:2 “There is no one holy like the Lord; there is no one besides You; there is no Rock like our God.” If you are a son or daughter of God you are one of the most privileged souls in the ...read more

    James tells us a lot about the tongue in chapter 3. What kind of dangerous instrument is this? Look and see.

    The Bible says a lot about what we say, our words. One of the Ten Commandments is this: You shall not bear false witness. The very first word spoken in the Bible is by God when he gave the command, “Let there be light.” God’s words are powerful, and God created you and me ...read more
