Jm3

Don't have dull ears and a sharp tongue! Rather, let your actions speak the truth about your life. These two sentences would summarize James 1-3.

I always get to James 3 and feel so much conviction! Since I am a teacher and since I tend to speak a ton of words, I often feel guilty after reading this chapter.  NOT controlling my tongue is immaturity and sin. God help me be more guarded in the way I use words.

Our words can either build up or destroy, encourage or discourage, bring peace and unity, or division. Jesus said we will give an account for EVERY word that comes out of our mouth.

So convicting. Let's watch our words. Let's use words to help others not hurt them.
