Taming the Tongue
James 3 decides to correct our use of the tongue. How can one of the smallest organs in the body wreak so much havoc? Pastor Mike went on to talk about the various problems the tongue may cause. I felt "tongue-tied". It is one of the Chapters of the Bible which really hits home...how many of us really watch our words? How many of us are constantly choosing our words carefully and/or preferring to keep quiet rather than saying something cutting or demeaning to someone else?
Paul compares the tongue to the rudder of a ship and the bit in a horses mouth. With such small a device you can control a ship or a horse. The same is with our tongue...with the same mouth we bless and curse.
ARE YOU COMING WITH US???
This saturday we'll be meeting in the parking lot of CCMB at 8:30...then we be gone...to GREAT AMERICA!!!!
See you there...hopefully at some point upside down and moving very fast!

Pastor Mike Continues in James
Faith without works is dead...we used to be one of "those people"...but who cares now...we are to treat all people equally. (Nevertheless it still angers some of us when we are profiled as one of "those people")
Sometimes we look at very rich people and think they have everything. But we have riches way beyond those...
Don't treat someone who has a lot of money any differently...we are all equal IN THE EYES OF CHRIST!
IF YOU HAVE ORDERED TICKETS TO GREAT AMERICA PLEASE REMIT PAYMENT TO MIKE OR MICHELE OR SPEAK TO THEM PERSONALLY. TICKETS HAVE BEEN BOUGHT.

Mark 1:22-27
How can we be hearers only and not doers of the word.
We need to take the lessons we learn and move into ministry and doing things for others rather than just ourselves.
If we simply read the word and hold it in we will become like the dead sea...water flows in and nothing flows out and the water stagnates.
We are sanctified...called and set apart for the service of God.
Were all sinners saved by grace struggling every day to put off the old man and put on the new.
Its all about methodically putting it all back together.
