  1. The Bible says "a man that control his tongue not to offend with it, the same is a perfect man" James 3:2.
    A man that control his tongue also have self control,and therefore he is very carefully of all that he do says and think.

    only God can help us to do this

  2. “Words can soothe and reassure or poison and contaminate.” How true!!
    That’s why it is important we:
     (i)listen twice as much as we talk,
     (ii)think thrice as much as we talk and
     (iii)pray more times than we talk, think and listen.

  3. The sayings of Solomon have alot to tell us about words. Remember he is the wisest man that ever lived. What he shares is out of years of experience. He says; "He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life; but he that openeth his lips wide shall have destruction. Proverbs 13:3.
    So the key to our existence is what not only for today but eternally.

  4. I thank God for his word and grace, words of failure that could have destroyed me which did destroy my peers were spoken but when I accepted His word those words became ill effective. Indeed His words speaks life to the lifeless. Help me Lord to use my tongue wisely.

  6. Our tongue is one of the of the most dangerous members of our body, and we must alway be careful of what we says , because our tongue can killed we can not control it on our own,we have to diligently pray to God to help us hold our tongue....

  8. Truly our words should be fragranced with the love of our Compassionate Saviour. May God grant us the wisdom to know when to speak and when to be silence. Remember the story of the prophet Nathan when he approached King David for sleeping with Uriah the Hittite's wife?

  9. Causes a big "battle" at times: is not to say the negative thought that comes to mind,and then to deal with what's on your mind.At Camp meeting (Drakensville) James Rafferty had me thinking,like David, is to go with those negative thoughts to God, tell Him what you feel and think.That helps giving it to Him rather than the "sin" to come from your mouth, or deeds...Stays a challenge nevertheless because of our human nature!God alone I feel can help us to overcome this "battle".How do you deal with this issue?
