In Revelation 14:12-13, the Apostle John tells us that heaven will be gained by those who trust and obey God till the very end. This is an encouragement to some but a warning to others. John is saying that heaven isn’t for those who “prayed a prayer” when they were kids but didn’t live it out when they were adults. Heaven is for those who not only become Christians . . . but remain Christians.
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.
