James 3:7-18 Today we’re going to close out this section of James that warns us to be slow to speak; so I’ll be concentrating on verses 13-18 of chapter 3. At the same time, I do want to show the strong connection between what we studied last week on the power and effect of the tongue and how it fits with those verses. So I thought I would begin by telling you what I have every reason to think is a true story.
