It

7-8)
3. MY TONGUE DISPLAYS ________________________ .
(vs. 9-12)
It's inconsistent: vs. 9

My brothers, this should not be."
(vs.
10)
"Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring?
... can a fig tree bear
olives or a grapevine bear figs?"

HOW TO MANAGE YOUR MOUTH
Developing a Faith That Works - Part 8 of 15
James 3:1-12
Rick Warren
Today we're going to look at what James has to say about "How to Manage Your Mouth".
We love to
talk.
There are talk shows everywhere.
Everybody seems to have something to say.
The average
American has 30 conversations a day and you'll spend 1/5 of your life talking.
In one year your
conversations will fill 66 books of 800 pages a book.
If you're a man you speak an average of 20,000
words a day.
If you're a woman you speak 30,000 words a day.
(Like the guy who was asked, "Do
you resent that your wife has the last word?"
He replied, "No, I'm just glad when she finally gets to it!"
Or the wife who broke her jaw.
When they took an X-ray it turned out to be a motion picture.)
Some of us are born with a silver foot in our mouths.
We have this natural ability to say the wrong thing
at the wrong time.
Nothing is opened more wrongly at the wrong time than our mouths.
(Like the stock
boy at the grocery store.
Lady asked him, "Can I buy half a head of lettuce?"
He walked back to the
manager to ask, not realizing she was walking right behind him.
He said, "You're not going to believe
this, there's an old bag out there who wants to buy half a head of lettuce."
He turned around and saw
her standing there and said, "And this fine lady would like to buy the other half.")
Our mouths get us into a lot of trouble.
James talks more about the tongue than anybody else in the
New Testament.
Every chapter in the book of James says something about managing your mouth.
"We
all stumble in many ways.
If anyone is never at fault in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to
keep his whole body in check."
