Notes from Sunday (5/25)

This Sunday we talked about Taming the Tongue. Our text was James 3:1-12.

We discussed how a pinch of salt, a pebble in a shoe, and a nail in a tire are all small items that can have large consequences. The tongue is the same way - small part of the body, but can cause major problems.

Max Lucado compares a person's tongue to a horse's bit and a ship's rudder. All three direct the path of their larger beings.

The tongue can be used for evil or for good. It can detract from God's glory or it can bring glory to God. What power the tongue has!!

You can use your tongue today to tear people down (sharp words, gossip, etc.) or you can use it to build people up (praise a job well done, give encouragement, etc.).

Which will you choose?

(Thank you, Ryan, for leading the lesson!)
