Freedom River Church - The Power of the Tongue to Direct

Thus far, James has explained two characteristics of mature Christians.
The first is the lesson of chapter one which is: the mature Christian is patient in the midst of trials and troubles.
The second occupies chapter two and concludes that the mature Christian practices what they preach.
Now, in chapter three, perhaps the most difficult of them all: the mature Christian maintains power over the tongue. The power of speech is one of the greatest powers God has given us. Maybe that's why James spends so much time on it.
