Questions to consider

1. If James wrote this today, why might he have included the enter or return key on our keyboards?

2. Can you think of a time when someone’s words had an especially strong impact for good or bad on your life?

3. Can you think of situations where you are prone to fail in this way?

4. How can you apply this passage going forward?

Encouraging and challenging you to seek intimacy with God every day.
