One of the most valuable parts of this Extreme Faith Workout, for me, has been to read through the entire book of James, in one sitting, once a week. Every Wednesday, in the extreme faith workout, that is the main assignment. Today, I was reading the book of James, looking for how other parts of James fits James 3:1-12:
- 1:13 - do not use your tongue to accuse God of tempting you
- 1:26 - if you use your tongue to pretend to be religious, you are deceiving yourself
- 2:3 - do not use your tongue to put down the poor and give partiality to the rich
- 2:7 - the non-believing rich use their tongues to blaspheme God
- 2:16 - you have dead faith if you talk about caring for people but don't actually help them
- 3:13-18 - this whole passage of wisdom will be demonstrated by how we talk
- 4:1,2 - fighting and quarreling with our tongues show the heart problems we have
- 4:11 - do not use your tongue to judge someone else
- 4:16 - do not use your tongue to boast - that is evil
- 5:9 - do not complain against others and judge others
- 5:12 - do not make an oath; but instead, just tell the truth and do what you say
- 5:13 - if you have something to be thankful for, then use your tongue to praise God
- 5:14 - if you are sick, call your pastors to come pray for you
- 5:15 - the pastors should use their tongues to pray for the sick
- 5:16 - use your tongue to confess your sins to others and to pray for one another
