A Practical Faith

9 9 With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God's likeness. 10 Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be. 11 Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring? 12 My brothers, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water A Practical Faith What is the point? What is the application?

13 13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom. 14 But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth. 15 Such "wisdom" does not come down from heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, of the devil A Practical Faith Why does this follow the discussion of how we use our words? How does this reinforce the connection between words and actions?

16 16 For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice. A Practical Faith Why does this follow the discussion of how we use our words? How does this reinforce the connection between words and actions?

17 17 But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. 18 Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness. 18 A Practical Faith What behaviors and attitudes can we rule out as reflecting God’s revelation? What does it mean to sow in peace?
