Teaching for Teachers | James 3:1

In his book, The Preaching Event, John Claypool wrote: Words make things happen. Words are like arrows or bullets being shot into a target. Words go out and do things.

is true for you. This ancient story rushes headlong into our lives and changes
everything. Don’t doubt it.
