Episode Synopsis

Steve walks us through the first twelve verses of James chapter 3 to show how believers are called to use their voices. As the half-brother of Jesus Christ, James had a uniquely personal understanding of our Savior’s will, offering insight that few other biblical authors could. He vividly illustrates the conflicting nature of the tongue using the images of a spring and a fig tree. Steve explains that our ability to speak life or death is a sobering responsibility. He also offers practical guidance for ensuring our words bless both God and our neighbor. Are you speaking from the heart of Christ or from the desires of self?
