Putting it into Practice

“Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath” James 1:19

In the last few posts, we have looked at being swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to wrath. These are qualities that run contrary to our natural inclinations and dispositions, however, and can seem downright impossible to achieve. And yet, as James tells us just a few verses later, we are to be doers and not hearers only (v.22) So how do we develop these Christlike qualities?

I’m glad you...
