Read as you listen: Chuck Smith on James 3

Read the opening of his teaching

Let's turn to James chapter three. James first of all warns against a desire to teach the Word of God that would stem or emanate just from your own desire to be in front of people or whatever.

My brethren, [he said,] be not many masters [or teachers] (3:1),

The idea of master there is a teacher,

knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation (3:1).

Teaching the Word of God is an awesome responsibility, because when I stand here to teach God's Word, than I am responsible to be teaching the Word of God correctly. For if I do not teach the Word of God correctly, then those people that I may be leading astray, will be people for whom I will have to bear a responsibility. It is a heavy obligation to be a teacher of God's Word.
