- With teachers especially (but not only) in mind, James warns believers about the danger of destroying ourselves and others with the words we say.
Here is a link to David Guzik's commentary on James 3: enduringword.c...
This teaching was so good and convicting. I am that person who speaks one way at church & fellow Christians and then another way around worldly unbelievers. As James states, this should NOT be. As true followers of Christ, our words are to make people and not to break them, our words are to bring them to God and not drive them away from God. Thank you for this message ❣
I listen to this sermon over and over again. I hear something new each time I listen to this sermon. I get blessed spiritual each time I listen. Ty pastor for this teaching this sermon I have learned so much..
Eric, thanks for the kind words. Blessings!
I’ve always thought that verbal abuse was equally as harmful as physical abuse. The scars of verbal abuse aren’t visible but words can destroy one’s spirit in a split second and damage self esteem as well. Thank you for elaborating on this painful subject.
I know my tongue has been my demise. I upset myself when I reflect. I know God knows my heart and the times when it has been used for evil (justification because I felt hurt), I know better. I’m actively seeking ways to better myself. Taming of the tongue is by far a subject I will hone in on. I’m grateful God has been sending me these messages.
It sounds like God is doing a wonderful work in your heart! That's great!
you're not alone, brother! how easy it is to let our anger and pride get the best of us and forget life and death are in the power of the tongue! it feels good at the moment to react to our feelings but i feel grieved minutes after, knowing i did not please God in my thoughts, words, and actions!! praying for you, may the Holy Spirit be the rudder/bit that gives you self-control in those times.
@@jesusiskingofmyheart Thank You
Currently working on taming my tongue. In proverbs the 7 things God hates and 6 of those things are an abomination…3 of them deals with the tongue. Thanks for the video:) God bless you in Jesus name:)
Blessings as you pursue this godly discipline!
This man's commentary on James is amazing. I have felt power loaded in the Spirit because of his words.
Thank you Mike, and blessings to you
Fantastic message! Increased practice of deleting social media posts (Holly Spirit letting me know, “no”) with criticism of others. It’s okay! Also, growing in how/what I do/say ... what a blessing! So much more pull back on. Thankful for continued conviction and repentance 🙌
There's a fine line there! The Wicked must be into account
This does not mean silence is better. We may critize others if it is based on facts, just8ce, etc. Not slander, lies, based on selfish or envious motivation.
I listen to this sermon over and over again. It reminds daily of of this tongue I have I need help.
Thank you so much pastor David. Such a thorough explanation on James 3:1-12 that gives us serious consideration on controlling our tongues.
Oh God help me I need you
My tongue sometimes is not a blessing! Proverbs 10:19-21
Thank you DAVID GUZIK, for this important revelation in my life , the Holy Spirit is definitely working, in me I maybe looking into overtime due to my past 😀
Thanks for such a word to share. May the almighty God increase you in faith.
Thanks for so much insight, I am busy with the book of James, and this is the great read along!
Blessings as you read and study!
Iam blessed by this ministre and the teachings that are taught by Pastor David Guzik.
Pastor Guzik , Thanks for sharing the truth of Gods word in love… I am truly blessed and praying for you and your family…
Let the Holy Spirit be our bit or rudder 💕
Yea and amen!
David awsome message. I am glad so glad I found you on CZcams
Thank you for this lesson of encouragement! I fail in this area time after time when I am emotionally invested in a discussion being had (tested mostly by non-believers). Especially when over-stressed with worldly things. Please pray for my increased wisdom and ability. Thank you. The thought just came that whenever I start getting negative (angry) to put a smile on my face and turn it into a positive (peace). That is what Jesus seemed to do All The Time. I need to practice this consistently!
And what we say to ourselves can damage us too.
Awesome message I needed this! God bless you. You are a precious gift from God to His people.
I love the way you teach the word thank you
I love him and don't care what others think he is beautiful.
This message rocks! So important
I love this message its so powerful
Hypocrisy is something we must battle with, we must overcome this weakness through prayer.
This is a powerful subject the tounge has power. 😢 And sadly people don't realize they can bless or curse someone just with words
Excellent David. Been reading EW commentary for years but somehow didn't come across your vids until now.
I am an ELCA Lutheran from South Carolina. Today (September 12), we held an outdoor worship service at Dreher Island State Park on Lake Murray. This was our New Testament Lesson (or Epistle) of the Day.
Thank you for this topic. God bless
Please forgive me Jesus Christ amen 🙏
Many years ago, there was a woman in our neighborhood who also went to the same church we did and in a Bible study once she said, "I just say what ever comes to my mind! I think that if I THINK it I might as well SAY IT!!" And our pastor looked at her and shook his head and said, "I wish you would not."
Now she is also the same woman who stated many time that SHE DID NOT READ BOOKS or NEWSPAPERS and if it were not ON TELEVISON she would not know it.
That repeated, proudly, statement always made me wonder if since the Bible is a BOOK, if she had ever read any of it or did she just rely on Holywood's version of the Bible and Christianity. When I heard the statement she made about not holding back any of her words, I knew the answer.
David awesome message I am so glad I found you on CZcams
I’ve always thought that verbal abuse was equally as abusive as physical abuse in that the wounds aren’t visible. The unbridled tongue can kill a person’s spirit and destroy self esteem
.

Awesome lesson, we are going through this chapter now.
Excellent!
I talk too much, I'm trying to be more quiet , listen more, stop sharing too much. It's a real struggle, I always have something to say
This blessed me. I received ❤️
Great message thank you so very much.
So, so good!
1 John 3:3-6 nkjv
3 And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure. 4 Whoever commits sin also commits lawlessness, and sin is lawlessness. 5 And you know that He was manifested to take away our sins, and in Him there is no sin. 6 Whoever abides in Him does not sin
Humans are social by nature.. therefore we communicate
God bless you my brother i

This word really makes me shader, as a PMC Moderator, I feel a weighty responsibility weighing on my shoulder
Amen. It's a lot to shoulder, indeed. Thank you for sharing this. Blessings in Jesus' name.
Hi
Thanks for this beautiful explanation.
Gid bless
Thank you
Learned a lot that I have to share. (Excellent)
Thank you for another wonderful teaching on the book of James. In relation to gossip & criticism, something I have always been sensitive to. When does it become gossip & criticism if you're expressing your concerns, observations of another person to someone that is not that person? This is something I try to avoid but have witnessed recently & really would like to avoid talking about. If anyone has any thoughts please share.
I think a question you should ask yourself is, are you explaining something factually to obtain counsel about it? Are you calm when explaining it? Are you sharing important details, or are you sharing info that would cast someone in a bad light, which the person you're talking to doesn't need to know? Use discretion. Refrain from sharing what you don't need to share. It's difficult at first but then your life becomes so much better. Just complaining about someone because you need to vent is not a good reason to gossip.
@@helloworld8492 thank you for sharing your thoughts & advice 😊
@@Peaka01 I'm glad to share! I'm still learning of course and it can be super hard to refrain from talking but it gets easier the more I try. Good luck on your journey!
Even a fool if he keeps his mouth shut will appear to be wise.
Amen, great word
I believe you sir
My husband always says something very insulting and then says just kidding when he wasn't. He's a typical narc and these people will bring the worse out in you. I've definitely come back at him and it gets old. But now he's in jail and I'm free of all his "joking"
So I learn
Keep Up the good work
Amen!
You need to use a pop filter with that microphone. (The teaching was fantastic, but just wanted you to know that)
Amen brother
I love it about 1 corthians 11:10 took it wrong because there was across on my head after a wreak and I'm not married. OMG. Guess I new what that meant and it can be taken two ways but and a big butt make sure you have the back bone and knowledge and brothers and sisters to back you . What that token means when it's a cross of Jesus Christ. Amen
Good Massage, 🙏
