    Chapter three comes as a warning on the use of the tongue and particular, the use of the gift to teach. James provides a twofold warning: (1) the teacher will be under greater scrutiny from God; and (2) the primary teaching tool is the tongue which must be under the control of the Holy Spirit.

    You can tell from the text of my sermon today I am going to preach about the tongue.

    Perhaps some are assuming the reason I am preaching on this subject is because some members in the church are mis-using their tongue in the church.

    Lately, there has been a lot of negative news surrounding the Catholic church, particularly regarding allegations of sexual misconduct by priests.

    Our words have the power to bring life or death. We must be mindful of how we use them, ensuring they reflect our faith and the love of Christ.

    James kicks off by saying that teachers and preachers are gonna be judged more strictly because their words carry a lot of weight. Our words can make a huge difference, and if we can get a handle on what we say, we can control our whole selves. Imagine this: You're playing a video game, and you're ...read more

    Our words have immense power. They can direct, destroy, and reveal the condition of our hearts. We should be intentional with our words, using them to guide others toward God, speak words of encouragement and blessing, and reflect His love and truth.
