Evil Speaking
Our words matter. In James
4:11–12, Christians are warned against slander and unrighteous
judgment. Speaking evil of others violates God’s law and places
us in His role as judge. True disciples speak with humility,
judge righteously by God’s Word, and submit fully to His
authority—not our own opinions or traditions. |

A
Christian’s Speech
Introduction: I
would imagine that if you asked the residents of almost any town
whether they believe the Bible is indeed the word of God, most
would say "yes." Yet, it is easy to see that their belief does
not affect how they live daily. This is most evident in people's
speech. Many believe there is nothing wrong with lying or taking
God's name in vain, to name just a few examples. But what about
the Christian? What should characterize his or her speech? It's
to those questions in particular that we now turn our
attention. |

Speaking in Tongues
Due to the influence of
Pentecostalism, many people throughout the world claim to have
spoken in tongues. By this, they mean ecstatic utterances-
unintelligible expressions—sometimes called heavenly languages.
What should we make of this? What does the word of God say about
speaking in tongues? |

FROM THE HEART TO THE TONGUE
The tongue is a marvelous complex instrument with
several functions. It used as a sense organ, containing about 9000
taste buds which distinguish between different flavors such as
bitter, salty, or sweet things. It aids in the forming and
movement of food as we eat for ease of swallowing. And it is
frequently used to express the temperament of the heart.
Lesson Text:
James 3:2-13
James gives us some great details about how powerful
the tongue is and how difficult it is to control:
