Just Do It- James 3 (Wisdom For Marriage)

We're continuing through our "Just Do It" series on Sundays based from James 1:22. Here's a thought from Sunday and James chapter 3: Wisdom For Marriage.

Much of James chapter 3 deals with the struggles in controlling the tongue (our words, our speech). But at the end of the chapter, the text adjusts to address the need for heavenly wisdom as opposed to earthly wisdom:

V. 16-18: "For where envy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder and every kind of evil. But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peace-loving, gentle, compliant, full of mercy and good fruits, without favoritism and hypocrisy. And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace".

Our class is comprised of young married couples as well as engaged couples (two couples are getting married next weekend). And while this passage is not specifically dealing with marriage, the qualities listed are certainly excellent wisdom for marriage.
