What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don’t they come from your desires that battle within you? You want something but don’t get it. You kill and covet, but you cannot have what you want. You quarrel and fight. You do not have, because you do not ask God. When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.

You adulterous people, don’t you know that friendship with the world is hatred toward God?

Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.

James brings to light the destructive lethal effects an unguarded tongue has on a community of faith. The passage not only addresses individuals about the dangers of the tongue, a small part of the body with the potential of causing great harm. We also see James addressing Christian church leaders, who make up a small percentage of the church yet, are responsible to teach and guide the entire congregation. The question James asks is whether these leaders/teachers (and their theology) are influenced by the will of God or by influenced by hell.

David Nystrom commenting on this passage says; “We ought not to underestimate powerful potential of leadership positions nor undervalue the damage that can be done through careless or mean-spirited speech.” Since no man can tame the tongue (James 3:8), have your surrendered your tongue to the Lordship of Christ?

If you claim to be a Christian, but you are living inconsistent and unrepentant disobedience to God, you are deceiving yourself.

You are just playing games.
