  1. James 3:7-12 For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and sea creature, can be tamed and has been tamed by mankind, but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse people who are made in the likeness of God. From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so. Does a spring pour forth from the same opening both fresh and salt water? Can a fig tree, my brothers, bear olives, or a grapevine produce figs? Neither can a salt pond yield fresh water.

  3. Some Lie Against The Truth

  4. Lie Not Against The Truth • Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. (James 3:13-14)

  5. The tongue is inconsistent truth is not • For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and sea creature, can be tamed and has been tamed by mankind, • but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse people who are made in the likeness of God. • From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so. (James 3:7-10)

  6. Truth is rooted in sowing and reaping • Does a spring pour forth from the same opening both fresh and salt water? Can a fig tree, my brothers, bear olives, or a grapevine produce figs? Neither can a salt pond yield fresh water. (James 3:11-12)

  7. Truth is not affected by lies • Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. • But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. • For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. (James 3:13-16)

  8. Truth is seen and shines like the sun • But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. • And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace. (James 3:17-18)

  9. Application Lying against the truth

  10. Keeps One In Bondage The truth will make you free (John 8:32) • Whatever issue one has remains. • Truth is the key that opens our cells of bondage. • Whatever you are bond by the truth can make you free. • Lying against truth = bondage, pain, suffering, slavery. • If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed (John 8:36).

  11. Gives One An Alternate Reality • Failure to speak truthfully forces one to believe a lie • Calling a dogs tale a leg does not make it a leg. • When Ahab saw Elijah, Ahab said to him, "Is it you, you troubler of Israel?" And he answered, "I have not troubled Israel, but you have, and your father's house, because you have abandoned the commandments of the LORD and followed the Baals (1 Kings 18:17-18).

  12. Prevents One From Laboring • Leads to talk • Talk is cheap – profession without demonstration. • In all toil there is profit, but mere talk tends only to poverty. (Proverbs 14:23).

  13. Puts one in opposition to God • God is truth • His word is truth • His laws are truth • When God says a thing is and we say it is not, we lose. • Can’t walk with God (Amos 3:3). • And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest: it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks (Act 9:5).

  14. You will mislead yourself • What you sow you reap • The fruit on the tree is. • Calling it something else doesn’t change it. • You will live your lie and reap the wrong thing. • Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap.For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption, but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life. (Galatians 6:7-8)
