Christian life is more about actions than words. God will judge you more harshly for being a "teacher". You can tame everything but it's harder to tame your tongue. You can use your tongue to praise God but you can also use your tongue to curse gods people. James talks about wisdom. Wisdom is about what you actually do. An earthly wisdom is being jealous of someone or something. Wisdom is about action and character.

A lot of people are smart but very few people are wise. People can know answers and past tests and such but wisdom is shown through by applying wha you know and has some action behind it. It comes through when times get tough and is associated with our character.
Very good. yes the more leadership we take on the more we are judged.
Do you guys think that this is fair? Should be be judged or seen differently based on our role or if we are a teacher?

I think that teachers are judged because they are teaching us, and some people think they have all the answers. I don't think it is fair that we juge

This chapter is all about wisdom. In James 1 they say be quick to listen and slow to speak. This can prove vary useful because the tongue is a small part of the body that can make a huge differences. There are two types of wisdom. Worldly wisdom fueled by greed and selfish ambition. People of worldly wisdom may teach but for the wrong motives.

Yes the tongue is small but very important can do a lot and like what he uses that can steer a boat. It can steer people in the right direction or the wrong direction. Just a matter of what is being said. Yeah in a way i think of some people are smart and some are wise. Smart people know how to make it in the world but wise know what God wants from them and knows what do do with everything they have learned.
