"The Power of the Tongue ON FIRE" (James 3:1-12)
Speaker: Shel Boese
Jesus and James (3:1-12) on Revealing Words, Modern Spells, Curses We Cast, and Idols
Our words can express the love/kindness that the Jesus Creed tells us is central to our faith. Thoughts of love lead us to actions that are caring and kind. This is COUNTER-CULTURAL for all of us! In the culture of the world, this is a sign of weakness, even stupidity to some, BUT it is the weak things that God uses to confound the wise through which His Power is experienced and made known. We often speak and think situations into greater health or wear them down through toxic negativity in how we use our tongues. Our words reveal what our idols are and what/whom we love.
