The Tongue's Power

CCC Family,
I hope you are enjoying our journey through the Epistle of
James. This is a great book that helps us grow in maturity as we walk
with Jesus. The strong exhortation is “Do not merely listen to the word,
and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.” We are currently
in a two part series, in James 3:1-12, that deals with the tongue - the
words we speak and the words we type (emails, Facebook posts, Tweets,
texts). Important topic! Last week, the focus was on the power
of the tongue as James likens it to the rudder of a ship and the bit in a
horse’s mouth. The tongue is very small but able to control the direction
of the whole. This coming Sunday, we look at the production
of the tongue- what fruit it can produce (some things that are really good and
some that are really bad). Be sure to prayerfully meditate on verses
5-12, to prepare your heart for what the Lord wants to speak to you.
Blessings in Jesus love,
Pastor John
