“MUST” SPELLED BIG

James 3:9-18

There’s such a plenty of world wisdom. Perhaps that is the reason there is so much confusion today. We need the wisdom that comes from Jesus himself. It is blessed that Jesus says we may have it for the asking. And when we ask, he won’t remind us of how stupidly unwise we are. He will give us his wisdom with the giving of himself to dwell and live in us. But he must be given habitual control—with that “must” spelled big.

1 Corinthians 1:18  For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

A CONTROLLED TONGUE

James 3:1-8

How grateful we are for the tongues that have brought the message of the Christ! So much of blessing comes through the tongue. But what hurt that little thing can do, also! Is it not strange that the tongue that brings some message of cheer and hope can also spit out words of reviling and evil? Then the good is clean rubbed out. The tongue must be under control at its roots down in the heart —the Spirit’s control.

Romans 13:7 Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.

THE LIFE SPEAKS THROUGH THE LIPS

Acts 1:1-8

We cannot witness to what we do not know. If we are to witness for Christ, we must first let him in, and all the way in, and in control. Then we know his power, and are able to witness to it by word and by life. Words are powerful or weak, according to the life back of them. The privilege of knowing him personally and of letting the life bear witness of his power is great joy.

Romans 13:6 For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God’s ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.

PUTTING JESUS’ POWER TO THE TEST

Luke 12:1-12

Confessing Christ is not merely the form of standing or speaking in the presence of men for him. That is but a beginning. Confessing him is proving him able to save and keep in the day-by-day circumstances of one’s life. No confession that stops short of revealing his power in the life is adequate. What does your life confess him to be? Lord Jesus, help us confess by thy power in our lives what a Saviour thou art.

1 Corinthians 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.

FITTING INTO THE CHIEFS PLAN

1 Corinthians 12:4-11

The Holy Spirit’s control in the life—this is the essential of the true life. He uses what he finds. And under his touch the natural gift is not only at its best, and helps others, but it fits in with all others in his broad, out- reaching plan. Whatever the gift, the Holy Spirit’s control is the thing, the one thing, that counts. Then one is content with the task appointed, however humble, since we know it is his wish.
