The WORD becomes flesh….the Never ending story James 3:13-14 (NIV) 13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. 14 But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth. Here James speaks of a good, wise WORD spoken for bad reasons. We may find in this passage four characteristics of the wrong kind of teaching. • It is fanatical. The truth it holds is held with unbalanced violence rather than with reasoned conviction. • It is bitter. It regards its opponents as enemies to be annihilated rather than as friends to be persuaded. • It is selfishly ambitious. It is, in the end, more eager to display itself than to display the truth; and it is interested more in the victory of its own opinions than in the victory of the truth. • It is arrogant. Its attitude is pride in its knowledge rather than humility in its ignorance. The real scholar will be far more aware of what he does not know than of what he knows. Tomorrow, Lord willing, we will talk about a good WORD spoken well. Not rules…relationships Just sayin…john SUNDAY MORNING SERVICES NOW 10:00 am. WORD Fellowship now meeting @ 6:30 Tuesday nights.
