Taming the Tongue - James 3

"We all stumble in many ways. If anyone is never at fault in what he says, he is perfect man, able to keep his whole body in check."(James 3:2)

You decide how you use your tongue!

Be very careful with:

1. Gossip = according to a dictionary it means speculation. Proverbs 11:9,

2. Slander =  Proverbs: 17:14, 

3.Rumor = something said without base Pv17: 9,Ex 23:1, 

4.Lie = It's a prison: to justify a lie often you invent another lie. Sometimes the liar comes to believe the lie as if it were real. 

    - Who is the father of lies? John 8:44. 

    - Liars will not enter heaven: Corinthians 6:10. 

5. Filthy =  Ephesians 4:29, Eclesiastes10: 20. 

6.Murmurings: I Corinthians 10:6, I Corinthians 10:10, 

7.Curse words:

    a. against myself: Proverbs 18:7, 

    b. against others: James 3:9-10, 

    c. Against the authorities: I Timothy 2:1-3,

    d.against my children: Ephesians 6:4,

    e. Against my parents: Proverbs 20:20.

A sweet word, builds. A bitter word, saddens.

God bless you!
