  • Will Smith, Chris Rock, and the Truth About Your Tongue
    Jan 13 2025

    Picture a massive horse galloping at full speed or a colossal ship navigating through fierce winds. What’s the common factor? Both are controlled by something incredibly small—a bridle and a rudder. Likewise, your tongue, though small, can steer the course of your life. Where will your tongue lead you today?

    Welcome to the Daily Devo. Our text today is James 3:3-5.

    If we put bits into the mouths of horses so that they obey us, we guide their whole bodies as well. Look at the ships also: though they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are guided by a very small rudder wherever the will of the pilot directs. So also the tongue is a small member, yet it boasts of great things. — James 3:3-5

    Our tongues are small but wield immense power, often causing destruction through careless or harmful words.

    Most of us remember the slap that was heard around the world at the Oscars in 2022. Will Smith walked on stage and violently slapped Chris Rock for a joke about his wife. We know today that they both said things they regret, and the fallout lasted a long time. That moment illustrates the profound truth and effect James is communicating in this text.

    But we all know the real issue isn’t just the muscle in our mouth, which we call a tongue—it’s what happens in the space between our thoughts and the words that come out of our mouths. Without intentional control, the tongue can act as a loose rudder, steering us into dangerous waters.

    But "bridling the tongue" isn’t simply about pulling back on our words—it’s about directing, leading, and controlling the will behind them. Just like a pilot sets a course for a ship or a rider guides a stallion, we must engage our minds and hearts before we speak and act.

    Here’s your task today: Harness your tongue, bite your tongue, direct your tongue, and then speak with intention. Do this, and your words might echo grace instead of creating the kind of ripple that turns into a slap heard around the world.

    #DailyDevo #PowerOfWords #FaithInAction

    ASK THIS:

    1. When was the last time your words caused harm or healing? How could you have used them differently?
    2. What steps can you take to pause and think before speaking today?
    3. How do your words reflect your relationship with Christ to others?
    4. In what areas of your life do you struggle most to control your tongue?

    DO THIS:

    Harness your tongue, bite your tongue, direct your tongue, and then speak with intention.

    PRAY THIS:

    Lord, help me to pause and reflect before I speak, guiding my words to bring life and encouragement. Teach me to use my tongue to glorify You and build others up today. Amen

    PLAY THIS:

    Greater Than All My Regrets.

  • The Weight of Words: Letting Jesus Carry What We Can’t
    Jan 12 2025
    magine gripping an Olympic barbell, its cold steel pressing into your palms. Now, with every word you speak, imagine spotters steadily adding weight—one pound at a time. Each phrase makes the bar pounds heavier until it becomes unbearable. That’s the kind of weight spiritual leadership carries. This devotional is about 1100 words long. Just imagine trying to deadlift that—not a chance, right? That would be an record, If I were able to lift it. And yet, that’s the reality of teaching God’s truth. In James 3:1-2, we’re reminded that those who teach will be judged with greater strictness. So, how do we step up to the bar without being crushed? Let’s dig into that together. Welcome to the Daily Devo. Our text today is James 3:1-2. Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, for you know that we who teach will be judged with greater strictness. For we all stumble in many ways. And if anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle his whole body. — James 3:1-2 James opens this chapter with a warning: not everyone should aspire to be a teacher. And what is his reason? Teaching God’s Word comes with weightier spiritual responsibility and accountability because it carries the power to shape others’ faith and lives. Misusing this gift can cause spiritual harm, so James emphasizes the weightier judgment for teachers. And honestly, these verses have always humbled and incited a holy fear in me—which is necessary for the spiritual teacher. Just so you know, I think about this every day as I approach God's Word—if I am rightly handling the weight of the Word. I do my very best to dig deep and let God's Word speak precisely as the original author intended so that I make applications to our lives that are as surgically correct as possible. But even though James warns spiritual teachers about the weight, he also acknowledges a universal truth: we all stumble or struggle to bear the burden of the weight, which reminds teachers and every one of us with a mouth about the weight of our words. For the Disperions of believers James addressed, this was a warning about the dangers of false teaching and spiritual pride. In a time of persecution and fragile church communities, their words mattered deeply. Teachers had to rely on God’s truth, not their cleverness or ambition, to guide others rightly. Today, this truth is just as critical. God's Word reveals the way, the truth, and the life. Whether you are teaching it from a pulpit, leading from it in a small group, or mentoring someone one-on-one, the weight of your words about God's Word is real. Here’s the key I always try to remember when communicating God’s Word: it’s not about my ability or strength to carry its weight. When I teach the Word, I rely on the All-Powerful God who spoke it. I let its weight rest on me and then share it with you. In the end, my prayer is that we both entrust our lives to the One who can truly bear that weight—Jesus Christ. Here’s the good news: Jesus came to carry the burden we could never bear. He lived the perfect life we couldn’t live—He never stumbled in word, action, or thought. And on the cross, He bore the crushing weight of sin for you and me, paying the price so we could be free from its burden. Today, you have the opportunity to let go of that unbearable weight. Jesus invites you with these words: “Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matthew 11:28). You can let go of the barbell. All you need to do is surrender to Him. Confess your need for His grace. Believe in Him as your Savior. And follow Him as your Lord. If you’re ready to make that decision, pray this with me: “Jesus, I can’t carry this weight anymore. I’ve stumbled in many ways and need your forgiveness. Thank you for living the perfect life and dying for my sins. I believe you rose again, conquering sin and death. Today, I surrender my life to you. Be my Savior and my Lord. Amen.” If you just prayed this prayer for the first time, welcome to God’s family! If you prayed because you needed to let go of some burdens again, praise the Lord! I want to walk alongside you on your discipleship journey. Follow us here daily as we grow together in God’s Word and learn to trust Him more deeply. #SpiritualLeadership, #JesusOurStrength, #WordOfGod ASK THIS: How can you better rely on God’s strength when teaching or sharing His Word?What burdens do you need to surrender to Jesus today?How have your words impacted others spiritually this week?What steps can you take to ensure your teaching aligns with God’s truth? DO THIS: Let Jesus take the weight of the burden. PRAY THIS: Lord, I surrender the weight of my words and my life to You. Help me trust Your strength and speak Your truth faithfully. Amen PLAY THIS: Burdens.

  • Grow Up: 2 More of 12 Keys to Spiritual Growth | James 2
    Jan 11 2025

    What does spiritual maturity look like in action? James 2 offers a powerful blueprint: impartiality and living works.

    Summary:

    James 2 challenges believers to grow in spiritual maturity by practicing impartiality and linking their faith to action. Impartiality obliterates prejudice by recognizing that all people are equal before God, while living works demonstrate the evidence of a genuine, active faith. Spiritual growth requires stopping favoritism and actively serving others, reflecting God’s standards through both belief and behavior.

    Reflection and Discussion Questions:

    1. Why do you think James emphasizes impartiality as a marker of spiritual maturity?
    2. How does prejudice pervert the Gospel, and how can we combat this in our lives?
    3. What does James mean when he says faith without works is dead?
    4. How can you align your beliefs with your behaviors in practical ways?
    5. Why is it significant that works don’t save us, but faith produces works?
    6. How does favoritism or partiality hinder the mission of the church?
    7. What are some ways we can better serve those society often overlooks?
    8. How can we apply the principle of “seeing others as God does” in our workplaces, churches, and communities?
    9. Why do you think James ties living faith to both beliefs and behaviors?
    10. What is one action you can take today to demonstrate your faith through works?
