The Tongue
Expected time: 3 sessions of 10 minutes (except for memorization). Check each item when completed.
- Pray about this lesson. (Allow God to do beyond your capabilities in this lesson.)
- Read James 3:2-12. Do you feel this passage speaks to you personally? How?
- Memorize Ephesions 4:29. Notes on memorization:
- It is difficult to succeed in any fundamental area of living without memorizing a verse on it.
- Always memorize in one translation.
- Always memorize word-for-word.
- When saying, always say the verse reference, then the verse itself, then the reference again.
- Memorize during "brainless" activities, like driving, standing in line, during commercials, ...
- Regularly review verses previously memorized.
- Read as many of the following as time permits (read at least 4), answering the questions below.
- How is the tongue wrongly used, and what is the result?
- How is the tongue rightly used, and what is the result?
- From the above, determine an area in which you need to change. One way to have success is to say the memorized verse when temptation comes. What one other thing can you do this week to improve in this area?
