I can't wait for Sunday. First, I can't wait to make fun of all of you for falling down so often skiing. No, really I can't wait to worship our great God with the body of Christ. It is the highlight of my week and gives me a small glimpse of heaven each Sunday.
This Sunday in our BFG we will continue our discussion of Proverbs by examing the topic of "The Use of Words." I will post some passages for reflection as well as some discussion questions below. If you have time this week look into some of these and post your thoughts below.
- Read James 3 this week. This is the most powerful exposition on the tongue that I have ever read.
- How serious is it, according to James 1:26-27, to have a bad tongue?
- Why do you think its so hard to tame the tongue?
- Why do you think its so enjoyable to talk about people behind their back?
- Questions for personal reflection: Do you talk too much? Do you say behind peoples' backs what you would never say to their face? Are people usually elevated or diminished when they walk away from having a conversation with you?
- Can anyone list some practical suggestions for taming the tongue?
Don't forget to meet at the church office at 2:30 pm on Friday. If you are not riding with the group please let me know so that we don't wait for you. Don't forget to bring warm clothes and money for lunch on Saturday. Topics for Friday night 'talks': 1) Who is Jesus? 2) What Does Jesus Want from Me?
