"James 3:9With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God's likeness. 10Out of the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers, this should not be."
Coach Mike Singletary is motivating. His fire and passion make you want to run through a wall for him. Have you ever played for a Coach like that? I am not aware Coach Mike has the "F Bomb" in his artillery to motivate his followers.
The book of James was written for believers. Interesting because competing believers often struggle with their language as well. "Christian" athletes even justify the "F Bomb" by saying it is a motivational tool.
I remember a college football player reading James Chapter 3:1-11 before every game so he could stop profanity. We need to ask ourselves if blessing and cursing are coming out of our mouth and then ask God if He will help us stop. I remember asking God to help me and then finally getting to the point where my profanity ceased.
Now I am asking God to help me have eyes to see the "counterfeit cursing" that I do. Not failing to mention do we look at everyone as someone made in "God's likeness"?...."
God help us read and line up with your Word and transform us by your Holy Spirit!.
Make it a great night!
