James 3

The tongue, it can set others aflame with the holy fire of heaven or with the consuming fires of hell.  Our words are powerful, they have the power to bind, to set free, to crush, to lift, to condemn, and to forgive.  We must take care for what we say.  After shedding light on the tongue James then talks about wisdom, worldly vs wisdom from above. From earthly wisdom abounds jealously, selfish ambition, disorder and evil practices.  From Heavenly wisdom abounds peace, gentleness ,openness, mercy, and good fruit.
