James 3 talks about taming the tongue. We should choose all of our words carefully, especially Christians. We should use our tongue to rejoice in God's greatness. This teaches me not to say one thign and then another that means the complete opposite. Christians words are judge more than nonChristians because we are supposed to be a example to them.
James 3 also talks about the two kinds of wisdom. When we have selfish ambition in our hearts we are showing earthly wisdom. The wisdom from heaven is pure. We should have pure wisdom and show it to others. If we have earthly wisdom we show envy and disorder.
James 3 explains how we should not speak good of the Lord and then curse men. The scripture that stuck out to me was James 11. "Can both fresh water and salt[a] water flow from the same spring?" No man can tame the tongue only God. It is evil and full of deadly poison. God can only heal our tongue we must go to him.
