Scripture: Proverbs 10 Sermon: Walking in Wisdom (12) - Money Matters

Today our venue is James 3:13-4:6. Everything we do will be exegetically driven, which means that we draw it from the words God inspired, but we will not be handling every detail of the text. That means we need to know about the context. In short, James 3 is about the tongue and the sins of the tongue. James 3:6, 8: And the tongue is a fire, the very world of iniquity; the tongue is set among our members as that which defiles the entire body, and sets on fire the course of our life, and is set on fire by hell. . . . 8 But no one can tame the tongue; it is a restless evil and full of deadly poison. James didn't deal with the tongue directly because your tongue is only an instrument of your heart. You will never cease to gossip or to be bitter toward someone, or to say careless and hurtful things by just deciding not to do it any more. You can only tame your tongue and make your speech glorify God and spread His grace by filling your heart with good treasures (Matthew 12:34-37). No one can cause you to say wicked things unless you are letting those wicked things ferment in your heart already. To control your tongue requires choosing wisdom which only God can provide. We're going to major on that today, with special emphasis on relationships. 1 - The Pervasive Pondering (3:13) 2 - The Pesky Problem (3:14-16) 3 - The Peace Principle (3:17-18) 4 - The Pesky Predicament (4:1-4) 5 - The Greater Grace (4:5-6)

In Colossians 1:28–29, Paul gives us a clear picture of faithful gospel ministry: "Him we preach." Christ is the subject of our proclamation, spiritual maturity is its goal, and faithful labor is carried out in the power God supplies. The church is called to warn and teach with biblical wisdom so that believers may be presented mature in Christ. We labor faithfully, but we depend entirely upon God to accomplish what only He can accomplish.
