Welcome!James Chapter 3 is focused on the power of the tongue and the importance of using it wisely. The chapter begins with a warning to those who are teachers, urging them to be mindful of their words, as it will hold them to a higher standard.James goes on to describe the tongue as a small but powerful part of the body that can set the course of a person's life. He compares it to a small spark that can start a raging forest fire, or a tiny rudder that steers a massive ship.He emphasizes the importance of using the tongue to bless and encourage others, rather than to curse and tear down.James then compares the wisdom that comes from heaven with the wisdom of the world. He explains that the wisdom of heaven is pure, peaceable, gentle, easy to be intreated, full of mercy, and good fruits.Finally, James incites the pursuance of wisdom from above and encourages the resistance to temptations of the flesh. He calls out a life of peace and to sow seeds of righteousness.Blessings, Peace and Love,SisterGGlenda Coker
