Taming the Tongue James 3:1-12 Summary: Despite what you might have heard in school, the words we speak to one another are very important. This is especially true for Christians, as our speech is an important area that God calls us to use in a godly way. In our passage today, James reminds us of just how important our speech is for the Christian life. Why does he think it so important? Outline: 1. Because our speech has a weighty influence 2. Because our speech has destructive power 3. Because our speech reveals the inconsistency of our hearts Verse: James 3:10 From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so.
