My words matter.
Why do my words matter?
Because words are powerful!
Words are powerful.
James 3
James makes a couple of analogies to help us understand that might sometimes comes in small packages.
Horses and Ships - These things are big and bulky but are controlled by something small.
The tong i read is less than half a percent of the total body weight.
Who measures these things and how in the world do
I must be careful.
Church leaders have a greater responsibility.
Church leaders have a greater accountability.
Why must I be so careful?
The fire that happened in Dothan on East.
Sonders Rd. - Because things was so desperatly dry that any spark could produce an unbelievable raging fire.
Words are uncontrollable.
James message is this you can’t change you!
No matter how hard you try - you will fail.
Christianity is not behavior modification.
Words are windows to the heart.

The tongue is something of a spiritual barometer: it shows us what is really going on inside.

More than anything else the tongue shows what type people we are.
My words
In James’s day the king or emperor would set up his statue in the cities of his realm.
If anyone insulted or cursed the statue, they were treated as if they had cursed the emperor to his face, for the statue was the image of the emperor.
Therefore the insulting of a person, made in God’s image, is like insulting God himself.
This duality, two different and contradictory words coming out of the same mouth, is a type of hypocrisy.
