Fling Wide the Door of Heaven by Greg Holmes, D.MIN – Director of Missions serving 17 churches
JAMES HAS A SIGNIFICANT WARNING to share with anyone who aspires to teach the world of God. “Not many of you should become teachers, my fellow believers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly. We all stumble in many ways.” (James 3:1-2a) He adds, as counterbalance, “Anyone who is never at fault in what they say is perfect, able to keep their whole body in check.” (James 3:2b) Jesus’ words are even more strident and challenging. “Things that cause people to stumble are bound to come, but woe to anyone through whom they come. It would be better for them to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around their neck.” (Luke 17:1-2)
