James 3, 5; Matthew 15, 1 Peter 4

The tongue is a rudder, a spark, a deadly poison and a creature that cannot be tamed.

James, the brother of Jesus, clearly takes from his mothers side as he writes a scathing letter to the early Christians. Some Christians use their tongue to praise God one moment, while cursing those made in God’s likeness the next.

This should not be. This cannot be. There has to be a better way to talk.

Soma: 1 Corinthians - Something That Is Already Ours In Christ

Something That Is Already Ours In Christ

1 Corinthians 13, 1 John 4

In 2006 a study was done to see what non-believers thought of Christians. 

91% said that Christian’s were “anti-homosexual”. This was the predominant association in most of their minds. Other associations included “judgmental”, “hypocritical”, and “insensitive to others”. 

The climax of 1 Corinthians also points to the engine of the entire Christian faith: love. Have we missed our primary calling?
