About This Message
Opening James 3, Pastor Addison warns that teachers face stricter judgment, then turns to everyone's need to control the tongue, since small words, like a bit in a horse's mouth or a spark that starts a fire, can defile the whole body. He presses the church to examine how they speak to spouses, children, and each other, since every word will be brought into judgment.
Key Takeaways
- Teachers of God's word face a stricter, greater judgment.
- A small tongue, like a bit or a spark, controls or destroys much.
- The same mouth shouldn't bless God and curse people made in His image.
