Sermon: James 3:1-12
July 26th, 2009 · Posted in SERMONS · 0 CommentsI have posted today’s sermon on my sermon blog. It’s part of the “you’ve got questions — God has answers” series I am preaching this summer — today’s sermon based on James 3:1-12 and entitled “Can I Tame My Tongue?”
Here’s a portion of it:
Using the acronym THINK, try to ask these 5 questions before you speak.
Is it True?
There is a rule about gossip: “The more interesting it is, the more likely it is to be false.”
Is it Helpful?
Will your words help bring about a solution to a problem?
Is it Inspiring?
Will your words build up someone?
Is it Necessary?
Do we have to say anything at all?
Is it Kind?
Are your words based on a desire to help?
THINK – try to ensure your words are True – Helpful – Inspiring – Necessary – and Kind – before you speak!
