Words

James 1 v 8 Their loyalty is divided between God and the world, and they are unstable in everything they do.

God has called us to be a people set apart for him, too often we compromise and our lives are divided ‘Well I live for God some of the time’. God is calling us to be fully for him….. one thing he has been speaking to us about is the words we speak.


We have a choice to make, we can either allow our tongues to bring destructive words or constructive words. Think about what words have helped and encourage you as a person…..

James 3 v 5,6 In the same way, the tongue is a small thing that makes grand speeches. But a tiny spark can set a great forest on fire. And the tongue is a flame of fire. It is a whole world of wickedness, corrupting your entire body. It can set your whole life on fire, for it is set on fire by hell itself.

We all have our weaknesses with our tongue, we have set ourselves a challenge to give our weakness over to God and allow him to change us. Pick a tongue weakness from the list below. Share your tongue challenge with a friend for accountability and help

Sarcasm
Gossip
Critiscism
Swearing
Complaining
Slagging off

Lets build each other up and encourage each other :-)

May the words of my mouth
and the meditation of my heart
be pleasing to you,
O LORD, my rock and my redeemer.
