Impulsive (James 3:9-12) | Nathan Yovichin

In James 3:9-12, we study the impulsiveness of the tongue. Man’s natural tendency is to “fit in” with our words depending on the context—even if it takes dishonesty. We concern ourselves with talking in a way that others would like rather than asking if God is pleased with those words. James 3 makes clear that just as God designed nature to function a certain way, so too did he design our mouth to be used a certain way. We must be thoughtful about using our speech to bring glory to God and good to others.
