“Can both fresh water and saltwater flow from the same spring?” (James 3:11)

“Can both fresh water and saltwater flow from the same spring?” (James 3:11)

Just as nowhere in nature will you find a spring bubbling up from the ground with a mixture of salt and fresh water, our tongues should not be used for both, blessing and praising God while at the same time cursing others. Since salt and fresh water come from completely different sources, our words often come from a divided nature. Thus, we should strive to be whole and remain pure in Christ.
