Lessons We Can Learn From James (continued)

Here are a few more lessons that we can learn from James two and three:

• We can't serve the Lord with partiality.-James 2:1

What this means it that basically, we shouldn't show favoritism.

• To serve the Lord, we can't both bless and curse with our tongue.-James 3:9
• My brethre, let not let not many of you become teachers, knowing that we shall receive a stricter judgment.-James 3:1

This verse can be confusing. It sounds like he is to telling us not to teach. But why would he say that? He didn't. This verse is acually trying to warn us that if you are or are going to become a teacher, you need to make sure that you are teaching the right things. If you aren't, you cold send a LOT of people to Hell.

Our tounge can be very powerful. -James 3:3-5

With our tounge, we can hurt people very badly. But on the other hand, we can encourage and strengthen them. So basically, watch your tongue. One wrong move, and you could go go to Hell. So be careful about your tongue.

I decided that I am going to start giving out some reading projects to go along with each blog post. This time, I would like for you to read James 4 and/or James 5. After you finish reading, send me an email at bffgirlsluvblue@gmail.com telling me about what you read.
