Say something nice!!

Prayer

Okay guys, for the lesson today I am going to read the verse first!

James 3:9–12 NLT

Sometimes it praises our Lord and Father, and sometimes it curses those who have been made in the image of God. And so blessing and cursing come pouring out of the same mouth. Surely, my brothers and sisters, this is not right! Does a spring of water bubble out with both fresh water and bitter water? Does a fig tree produce olives, or a grapevine produce figs? No, and you can’t draw fresh water from a salty spring.

What does this mean?

I have two cups. One is praise, one is curse. Take a swig of both. Tell me which tastes better!

Heres what it means…We cannot worship and praise God yet throw curses out of our mouths and think that its okay. What does throwing curses mean? To say mean things about someone to their face and behind their back. When we praise God its like drinking a nice fresh cup of water, whereas when we backlash and say mean stuff, curse others, say nasty things its like the salty water. So why do we do it anyway? Does this please God? How can we fix that?

My challenge for yall....think before you speak. Watch what you say. and praise God continuously.

Game - work together, get a rubber band and strings. Relay race. Separate praise from curses cups
