Impactful (James 3:5b-8) | Nathan Yovichin

In James 3:5b-8, we study the damaging impact our words can make. Just as a wild fire has devastating consequences, so too can our words. In order to correct sinful speech we must recognize the root of it—a sinful heart. It is easy to say we will “just watch what we say”, but James 3:8 says no human being can tame the tongue. We need to submit to Jesus as Lord and ask him to transform our hearts. Once we have been changed by Christ, we can have victory over wrongful speech and use our words for God’s glory!
