Mature Faith: Quick to Listen, Slow to Speak, Slow to Anger (Jody Garner)

James 1:19-26

We usually do the opposite of V. 19. We are often slow to listen but quick to speak and quick to get angry. How can we become better listeners? How can we be more deliberate and calm with our words? How can we be less reactionary with our anger?

In our main text today, James introduces our two final themes: words & actions. We blend the introductions into those themes today.

How do we know if we are putting the word into practice? 

One indicator would  be less about our outward deeds and more about being quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry!
