Teachers will receive a stricter judgment (v.1)
• Teachers are well aware of their message
• Teachers remind everyone else all the time, and they should remind themselves
• We must be careful about what we say while leading Bible classes and giving exhortations!

“We all stumble in many things”We all make many mistakes (RSV)
If we stumble in one point of law, we are guilty of all (2:10)
Be careful ourselves,
and give each other some
slack!

It spreads through the whole forest!
It only takes one match
start up a fire!

The tongue is a fire: it is spokesman for our hearts
"Brood of vipers! How can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the
abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. (Matt 12:34)
It can easily start ecclesial fires!

Tongue boasts great
things
It reveals our pride and can stir up trouble

God put our tongues in
our faces (6)
It is a focus of attention and can defile our whole body!
It can be stimulated and
fueled by garbage and
waste

Don’t start the fires:Help to put them
out
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of
God

We cannot tame our tongue! (8)
• It is an unruly or restless evil• It is full of deadly poison• “tame” used of Legion in Mk 5:4• “unruly” is translated “unstable” in 1:8• “poison” used in James 5:3 of the “corrosion” of
gold & silver that will consume flesh like fire

Same tongue blesses God
(v.9)
And curses men created
in God’s image
![Page 17: The Power to Control our Tongues James 3. Teachers will receive a stricter judgment (v.1) Teachers are well aware of their message Teachers remind everyone](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649da15503460f94a8d6b3/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
We can try to keep our mouths shutWhen there are many
words, transgression is unavoidable, but he who restrains his lips is wise. (Prov. 10:19) [NASB]
And give God’s word time to work on our hearts
![Page 18: The Power to Control our Tongues James 3. Teachers will receive a stricter judgment (v.1) Teachers are well aware of their message Teachers remind everyone](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022070412/56649da15503460f94a8d6b3/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Our tongues reveal what’s in
our hearts
We can bless God our Father
My brethren, these things ought not to be
so!
We can curse men in God’s
image

Listen to your tongue
It tells you what your heart really desires
If we really want to be God’s children and live like him, His word
will influence our hearts and control our tongues
“Where your treasure is, there your heart will be
also” (Matt 6:21)

Our conduct is evidence of the wisdom that motivates us (13)
We must show by good conduct that
our works are done in the
meekness of wisdom – not for the glory of the
flesh
