       Let us continue here in James chapter 3. Starting in verse 10: “From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers and sisters, these things ought not to be so. Does a spring pour forth from the same opening both fresh and salt water? Can a fig tree, my brothers and sisters, bear olives, or a grapevine produce figs? Neither can a salt pond yield fresh water.“ Today James is doubling down on what he said last week, and that is, namely, that we as Christians should not find ourselves blessing and cursing at the same time. And I said that the lower the level of consciousness, the more the cursing. The higher the level, the more the blessing. It only makes sense. And with James bringing these analogies to us, that it doesn’t make sense for the bad things and the good things to come from the same mouth, we can seek to understand just how it is that we move up from the negative side to the positive side of things. Just how is it that we becoming a more positive person?
