The Speech Test

The Speech Test

Jun 18, 2017

Passage: James 3:1-12

Preacher: Bishop Jayson Quiñones

Series: Testify

Summary:

Our words do not betray us, they expose us. As we continue in James, we are confronted with the power of our words and how they testify to the maturity, or immaturity, of our faith. We must strive to have our words bring life to others and glory to God!

Detail:

James has explained to us two characteristics of the mature Christian: he is patient in trouble (James 1) and he practices the truth (James 2). In this section, he shares the third characteristic of the mature believer: he has power over his tongue.

 

One of the key statements in this portion of James is: “See how a great a forest a little fire kindles.” We must embrace the reality of the power of the tongue. Our words matter and they testify clearly to our maturity or immaturity in the faith!
