James 3 – 4
Don’t seek for leadership or a high profile. I’m not sure if James meant this specifically within the church or if he meant it in any pursuit. That doesn’t mean that we should never received this things but that we should let them come naturally if they will as we use out talents well.
If we are able to bridle out tongue such that we can speak truth without being offensive (even if some take offense) then we may be ready for a place of leadership.
We need to be strong enough to speak the truth, gentle enough to avoid giving offense where possible, and meek enough to accept changes in our circumstances.
