Who is being “called out” by James in verse 1? Why do you think teachers will be judged with greater strictness? Francis said, “We live in a day and age when everyone wants to be the one who gives advice, everyone wants to be the expert, and James is going to argue, are you sure you want to do that? Because God is going to judge you more harshly for being a teacher.” Apparently, there were people speaking badly-boasting about themselves, cursing others, picking fights. James, writing to many believers, must have been concerned about churches in general. But God still loves those people, doesn’t He? How can we praise God one minute and in the next minute tear down people God loves? This should not be. And it’s even likely that you’ll hear someone criticizing other people. Turn on the TV or the radio or the internet, and chances are, you’ll hear someone talking.
