Slow Down // James 1:19-20

James 1:19 contains three specific commands to believers that profoundly affect how we interact with one another, be it in conversation or conflict. The second and third exhortations are to be "slow to speak, and slow to anger".

DISCUSSION / REFLECTION QUESTIONS:

In what ways does being 'slow to speak' create space for genuine understanding and empathy in our relationships?

Reflect on the statement "Anger is never a license to sin." How does this challenge your current beliefs or behaviors?

How can we overcome our natural impulse to react quickly to offenses?

Jeff mentioned "responding" versus "reacting." What's the difference, and why is it important?

Why is self-control often undervalued in modern Christian circles, and how can we reclaim its importance without falling into legalism?

How can we practically exercise more self-control in our daily interactions?
