Drippings from the Honeycomb
Do you think the Bible is boring? King David, in one of his psalms, said the Scriptures were so sweet they were like "drippings from the honeycomb." Perhaps it's time that we take a few minutes out of our busy lives and look at the Bible through fresh eyes! Join us on a journey to find these "sweet drippings" as we walk through the books of the Bible by studying selected key verses through which we can glimpse the whole theme of each book! We will look at stories you might not have heard before, talk about the real people and places behind each of these verses, see how one verse can connect to many others across the entire Bible, and learn to see the beauty of God's sovereign plan which is woven through every page of His Word.
Drippings from the Honeycomb
If you don't...it's worthless? (James 1:26)

What is the measure of the condition of a man's heart before God? James argues that it is the condition of a man's mouth!
While this might seem like an odd take by James, his teaching is solidly grounded in the Scriptures. One does not need to look further than the great proclamation by the prophet Isaiah in the Old Testament when he cried out, "And I said: 'Woe is me! For I am lost; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts!'"
Interestingly enough, it is the defilement of his lips that concerned Isaiah. He understood that, of everything, his mouth was the hardest part to control and bore a great responsibility for the sin in his life.
James would echo this sentiment hundreds of years later when he penned his letter to the churches.
