Everyone knows the story in Genesis about the Tower of Babel. Even people who aren’t “religious” have heard of it. But not many people understand what makes this story so significant. It marks the beginning of the war between two cities: the city of Man and the city of God. In Genesis, God was gracious to Babylon by allowing her inhabitants to live. But in Revelation, when she seeks to overthrow Him again, He isn’t so merciful.
Did you know the average person speaks between 2,000 and 10,000 words a day?! That means we have thousands of opportunities daily to encourage others or tear them down, to honor God or dishonor Him, and Jesus says in Matthew 12:34 that each word spoken reveals a little more about who we are on the inside. So in this series, Stephen takes us back into the convicting book of James to give us a long, hard look at our hearts…through the window of our mouths.
