Ungodly wisdom

James 3:14-16

If your wisdom comes with bitterness and envy it’s ungodly wisdom. Be careful.

Wisdom

James 3:13-14

Do you show your wisdom by your humility or do you show it by selfish ambition? Choose to acknowledge bitterness and selfish ambition but don’t dwell on it. It is better to do good deeds with humility.

Use your mouth to produce blessings

James 3:9-12

Just as a fig tree produces figs so should a Godly mouth produce blessings

Curses and Blessings! Why?

James 3:9-10

Why is it that we have both curses and blessings coming from the same mouth?  Can we control it?  What power the tongue has.

Taming the tongue is impossible

James 3:7-8

Humans have tamed other animals but the tongue....???  Can you do it?

The tongue is small yet mighty--be wise

James 3:3-5

Because the tongue is small yet mighty we must be very wise in how we use it.  Let us spur one another on to good deeds.

No one is perfect

James 3:2

Having Control  over what we say is significant as none of us are perfect.
