No Talk Stink

The Book of James speaks plainly and directly to believers -- we are not to speak words that will damage the reputation of others, and we are not to judge others against the measuring stick of our own self-righteousness. The temporary and fragile nature of life is illustrated in a story of the tragic death of two 18-year-old girls in the community during the past week. They had hopes and dreams that will, sadly, never be realized. Making plans for the future? Be sure you include God in the center of your agenda. Text: James 4:11-17 (NIV)
