The sage Proverb says NLT “The tongue can bring life or death (or) has the power of life and death.” NIV “Words Kill, words give life.” (18:21a) In his third chapter, James focuses on the power spoken words have, for good and for evil; to build up or to destroy. If we are going to follow Jesus, we must control our tongue.

Faith in Favoritism

Relating to people who are very dissimilar to us as fully loved humans is an important subject for a follower of Jesus, since his church is one group where all barriers are broken down. James is clear that the command to love one another includes not prejudging anyone.

But uncontrolled anger has no place in the life of someone following Jesus.  James gives a word of caution and throws a light on some side-effects of uncontrolled anger, before giving some ways to keep control.

Faith in Trouble

Trouble and pressure come without announcement. James instructs those scattered followers of Jesus to anticipate trouble. How? By rejoicing in it, praying to understand it, and focusing on his promised reward to overcome it.
