James: Get 'Er Done

All Kinds Of Chaos

James is at it again! He has a real concern for the words that Christians use on themselves, with each other and with the world. Our tongues (James' favourite image for our words) can cause such destruction, and they are nearly impossible to control. What’s the solution? Fortunately, Jesus gets to the root of the problem and to the fix that works.
