“Speech that Builds” – James 4:11-12 | May 7, 2023 | Pastor Chad Friestad
In this message, we’ll be diving into James 4:11-12 as we talk about speech that builds community and glorifies God. Have you noticed a recurring theme throughout the book of James? James speaks several times about the power of words. They can either build up or tear down. As Christians, we can fall into a trap of judging or condemning with our words. As we study this passage, we’ll discuss several ways we can use our words to build up other believers and bring glory to God.
James 4:11-12
11 Do not speak evil against one another, brothers. The one who speaks against a brother or judges his brother, speaks evil against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge. 12 There is only one lawgiver and judge, he who is able to save and to destroy. But who are you to judge your neighbor?
