Scripture: James 3:1-12
My brothers and sisters, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water.

Words Matter

Why words matter and why speech is a key discipline.

  1. James 3:1 – Words are accountable – Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, for you know that we who teach will be judged with great strictness
  2. James 3:2 – Speech is a keystone discipline
  3. James 3:3-5, Your words become your reality – Vss. 3-5
  4. James 3:6 – Words express and In-press the speaker; The purpose of words is to BLESS. With it we bless our Lord and Father. Col.4:6, “Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how you ought to to answer each person.”
