It's interesting that what got Jesus killed was not violent actions, but challenging words!

When the Book of James invites us to be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry, it reminds us of the importance of our words!

This Sunday we will hear James talk about the incredible power of our speech, how we use it to lift up, or to bring down!

How will you use your words today? You have the power to be encouraging, uplifting, life-giving, and of course to do the opposite!

How can you keep words of gossip, criticism, and judgment to yourself, and be quick to commend, congratulate, and encourage those around you?

Your job is to do three things today, be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger! This is the foundation of wisdom, dignity, and peace! Our words are more valuable, more powerful, than we suspect.

Choose those words wisely, and let them shine with the glory of God!

See you Sunday.
