Scripture References:
James 3: 1-13
1. Who’s feeling the weight of my words—either in pain or in peace?
Your words didn’t just disappear—they landed somewhere.
Think: spouse, coworkers, kids, friends, strangers online.
Ask yourself: Who do I need to apologize to, encourage, or check in with?
2. When I speak, am I reacting from impulse—or responding from a surrendered heart?
James says the tongue is untamable on our own.
We either let our emotions run wild or we invite the Holy Spirit to guide our speech.
This week, pray before speaking. Pause before replying. Think: “Will this build up or burn down?”
3. If my words were recorded and replayed, would they sound like Jesus?
Our mouths reveal our maturity more than our Instagram bio, church attendance, or worship volume.
Listen to yourself today. What tone, what themes, what heart do people hear in you?
