Sermons on James 3

James warns that not many should become teachers, since teachers will be judged more strictly. He compares the tongue to a bit, a rudder, and a fire: though small, it can direct great things and cause great harm. Human beings tame many creatures, but no one can tame the tongue, which blesses God and curses people made in God’s likeness. James then contrasts earthly wisdom, marked by jealousy and selfish ambition, with wisdom from above, which is pure, peaceable, gentle, merciful, and fruitful. Themes include speech, self-control, and true wisdom.
