#SpiritLedChange
“It is a spirit led, spirit wrought, spirit driven transformation that comes from our submission to the process. How do we do that? Draw near to God. Listen, a heart that is wrapped up in the love and grace of God begins to speak differently. A heart that has experienced the overwhelming acceptance that comes from the finished work of Christ isn't looking for that in winning every conversation and argument. A heart that has received in itself the mercy and the grace of God extends then, both in our words and our thoughts, mercy and grace to others.”
44s
#GuardYourHeart
“Listen, we can't feel pride without conjuring up words of self of self satisfaction. We can't fuel hate without listening to the voice in our head, the sulking and frustrated rants. We can't grow in self pity without listening to the voice that tells us how wronged we've been. The tongue is not just our speech, it is the communication with ourselves and with others. And therefore, what James is after when he talks about raining the tongue, controlling the tongue, is not just the ability to shut up. It is the ability to shut down anything that is not of God rather than feed it.”
46s
#TransformedHeart
“We're not looking for a tame tongue, we're looking for a transformed heart. James says this, it's so beautiful. He says, no human being can tame the tongue. That phrase human being means human nature. And it's almost like a wink you're getting. That is he says, no human being can tame the tongue. There's a reminder in that that we're not operating in human strength alone. That what James is calling for in this passage and what James is pointing to in this passage is not our feeble, self dependent attempts to fix our mouths. It is for us to enter and submit to the lifelong process of transformation that comes through the Holy Spirit because of the work of Jesus.”
37s
#RelationalReconciliation
“You see, the goal of the gospel, man, is relational reconciliation with God. The goal of the gospel is that God walked with Adam and wants to walk with us. And the key to transformation in our life is the intimacy that comes from relational proximity, not our self dependent feeble attempts to change ourselves. There's not a self help gospel in this book.”
36s
#HeartTransformation
“I can learn to hold back an insult and still hate the person. I could never say anything out loud and feed the dialogue in my brain. So what James has pointed to is we don't need a better system of keeping certain words from leaving our mouths. We need a God who can deal with the things that are producing the thoughts and feelings and words in the first place. We need a God who can deal with the anger, who can deal with the bitterness, who can deal with the pride, who can deal with the envy.”
34s
#WordsRevealTheHeart
“The words of my mouth are a reflection of the condition of my heart. The words I speak actually express the pride, the anger, the envy, the bitterness, the brokenness, the dissatisfaction, the greed within me. And so changing what we allow ourselves to say doesn't actually change the things producing those thoughts and words in the first place. I can learn to restrain a sentence without removing the resentment that produced it.”
37s
#FillYourHeart
“The second thing that we can do in this battle is this, is to fill the source. You see, the question is not only what words am I keeping from my mouth, it is what am I filling my heart with? Look at the one who has loved you. Look at the patience of Christ. Look at the mercy of Christ. Look at the cross of Christ. Become caught up in his grace and goodness, become overwhelmed with who Jesus is. You cannot sit at the foot of Jesus and leave unchanged.”
40s
#DrawNearToJesus
“The goal is not to tame the tongue. The goal is to transform the tongue. And that comes from getting so wrapped up in who Jesus is that as I look at you and I focus on you and I'm spending time with you, who you are comes out in my life, in my words, in my tongue, in my actions. How to experience transformation? Draw near to Jesus. It is by knowing him deeply, by receiving his love, by listening and being in his word.”
38s
#SurrenderToJesus
“I said in a service, I do. I will. I brought my will. Folks, until you bring your will to Jesus Christ, until he is God and you are not, until you finally decide I am not living this life independent of God, I am surrendering my life to Jesus Christ. I am turning away from this world and my flesh and who I am in the sin, and I'm turning right towards God. I am committing myself to him and him alone. And in that, you are saved. You will experience a miracle in your life, but you will not until you bring your will.”
39s
#SavedToServe
“Let me stop right here. Does this mean that the way you get into heaven is giving clothes and food to those who are in need? Absolutely That is not what's being said by anyone. No one is saying you have to do good works in order to be saved. But what they're all saying, including James, is this. They're saying a true Christian, one who really knows Jesus, will do good works because they are saved. Because if you have Jesus Christ dwelling within you, you're gonna do what Jesus would do.”
