Axioms For Life // Power Over Your Tongue | Westin Appleton | 06.21.21
In James 3, James teaches us how powerful our tongues are. Like a rudder that steers a large ship, or a spark that turns into a forest fire, our tongues have the power to impact lives around us. Not only are they powerful, but they are also difficult to control. We’ve seen how destructive words can be, but the power of our tongues can also be used to give life and build people up. However, we know that behavior modification does not work or help us long term. Jesus says, from our heart the mouth speaks, revealing what’s inside of us. In order for us to use the gift and the power that God has given us, we must allow God’s love to transform our hearts. In doing so, we become mature followers of Jesus; gracious in speech, positively impacting people around us, the future, and ourselves.
“If you claim to be religious but don’t control your tongue, you are fooling yourself, and your religion is worthless.”
-James 1:26 (NLT)-
