Lesson: During that time, teachers were high ly regarded. They had a great deal of influence in the community. They could very easily get caught up in themselves and sway from the Truth. James warns them that God holds them to a higher standard. This does not relieve the indi vidual from their respon sibility. The leader of the Jerusalem church goes on to say that anyone who is religious but can't control themselves dishonors God. The second part of this lesson examines how a small part (bit and rud der) of a larger entity controls it. James* focus is on the power of the tongue. As small as it is, the tongue can ignite a huge fire. The larger the fire, the more difficult it is to control and extin guish it. The tongue has the extraordinary power to do evil." His reference to hell comeS from the Valley of Hinnom, where rubbish is burned contin uously (hell) (David C. Cook's Echoes Adult Commentary). The tongue has the capability to encourage and lift up or can tear down and destroy. The Bible Expositor and Illuminator states that our speech is often divided between heaven and hell, life and death, and faith and doubt. Man has dominion over every thing in creation but is unable to control his tongue. When that is rec ognized, James 1:19 becomes more profound. According to the author, the tongue is inconsistent and unpredictable! This dualism is reflected inman's praise to God and his cursing other humans. Humanity is made in the image of God, how then can one person curse another? He goes on to say that fresh water and salt water can not come from the same source. Each tree must bear its fruit and not that of another. Application: The term "Christian," first used in Antioch (Acts 11:26) means to be Christ like. Jesus not only taught His message, but lived it as well; therefore, He is the standard to measure yourself by. Understanding the Word is key, and living It is vital. Otherwise, we're fig trees bearing olives! To control this inconsis- , tent, unpredictable small part of the body, we have to rely on our transforma tion by the Holy Spirit. If we just let the tongue run wild, confusion, disap pointment and injury will be in our faces. Don't for get that our tongues can turn people away from God. Words carelessly coming out of our mouths can't be taken back. Even with a sincere apology, the words remain. Faithful Jiving involves justice, compas sion and respect towards all people. It is not enough to simply know. All of us have regretted saying something; learn from your mistake. Representing God/Jesus is a daily task; there are ' no weekends or holidays off! Examine the "man in the mirror" to see how well you're doing. There is always room to improve. We'll get together in March to begin our spring quarter. Have a Story Idea?
