Hope for our Tongues…
The book of James is small in comparison to other great books in the Bible but it packs a mighty punch.
James 1:26 “If you claim to be religious but do not control your tongue, you are fooling yourself, and your religion is WORTHLESS. Ouch! This truth can be hard to accept.
James goes on to tell us in Chapter 3 that the tongue is like a “flame of fire” and a “whole world of wickedness.” “It is set on fire by hell itself.”
No human can tame the tongue in their own strength. Nor does religion. But there is hope! When we accept Jesus Christ as our Savior, He works to change us from the inside out. The power of the Holy Spirit will guide us and help us with self control.
