"Be Careful with Your Tongue" from James 3
Be Careful with Your Tongue from James 3
One thing about the tongue is that, it is the smallest but the largest trouble maker. And so we must be very careful using our tongue.
Example of encouraging words are when you say thank you, I'm sorry it's my fault please forgive me, but the discouraging words are bad words, accusing the person, any hurtful words that can torn the heart.
Be a model of using words for example many of us must be a teachers, and be a good example in using words.
If someone will evaluate what's our primary sin it would be our tongue - because we can easily gossip someone, and we all stumble with our tongue.
Be careful with your tongue and discipline it. Make yourself humble. Be quick to listen and slow to speak. Even when people gossip about us we shouldn't respond, tongue is like a spark that can cause fire to ruin everything especially with our relationship.
= means not to lie.
If your heart is not right with the Lord unkind words will flow in your tongue.
Don't participate with green jokes; don't be famous in that area. We need to have more of Lord God and less of ourselves.
Be careful with expressions not having sense but just irritating the other person; and saying bad words as expressions.
Have a self confrontation with yourself to the Lord - pray. We need to only use our tongue to Praise God; not to curse man. And don't be like a cobra (see its tongue) it has a split in the middle (like a double tongue) - one side use for praising while the other side use for cursing and gossiping.
Our tongue is exclusively use for God - praising God and encouraging man, use our tongue for the Lord.

We need to check our heart and our mind. We need to examine it every single day. So we'll know where we are at spiritually. Let the Lord search your heart and mind today and allow Him to change it for His glory!
