Imperfect (James 3:1-5a) | Nathan Yovichin

In James 3:1-5a, we study the importance of our words. Believers need to watch what they say since it is so easy to mess up and sin with our words. God cares about all aspects of our speech: normal speech, self-talk, written speech, recorded speech, and nonverbal speech—and we should as well. We must be wise by practicing restraint with our words in situations we tend to be reckless. By growing in self-controlled speech we can grow in spiritual maturity in other areas of life. We must hold back careless words and rather use our words for good. May we encourage others and honor Christ with our speech!
