Last week, we opened up our exploration of the book of James with reflecting on integrity; walking the talk; living out what we say is important to us. But still, how we talk and communicate in this world does have power. Words can create whole realities, for better or worse. Nowadays especially, we are very aware of how toxic and divisive speech can become, especially when modelled by people in positions of leadership. We are humbled by the reminder that we too have been given the responsibility to speak like people of God in all of our spheres of life. How can each of us tame our tongues; such a small thing of such great power? How can the way we talk make the world a better place?
