LET’S PUT OUR TONGUES ON CHECK.

CHRIST DEARLY BELOVED:
WE ARE NOT GIVEN THE PRIVILEGE OF CHOOSING WHICH OF THE “TEN COMMANDMENTS” TO OBEY AND WHICH TO IGNORE.
THE GOD THAT SAYS, “THOU SHALT HAVE NO OTHER GODS BESIDE ME.” IS THE SAME GOD THAT SAYS, “THOU SHALT NOT KILL.”
KILLING COMES IN DIFFERENT WAYS. BUT THE MOST LETHAL AMONG THEM IS BY THE TONGUE.
THE FIERY POWER OF THE TONGUE CAN BE LIKENED TO A WEAPON OF MASS DESTRUCTION.
JAMES, 1:-26 “IF ANY MAN AMONG YOU SEEMS TO BE RELIGIOUS, AND BRIDLES NOT HIS TONGUE, BUT DECEIVES HIS OWN HEART, THIS MAN’S RELIGION IS VAIN.”
AS LONG AS WE REMAIN TOTALLY COMMITTED TO FOLLOW THE LEAD OF CHRIST JESUS, WE MUST PUT OUR TONGUES ON CHECK.
THE TONGUE HAS A VERY DESTRUCTIVE POWER THAT CAN DESTROY AN ENTIRE NATION IN A “NEW-YORK MINUTE.”
YET THIS IS THE SAME TONGUE WE USE IN PRAISING THE LIVING GOD.
IN CONCLUSION: “WE ALL STUMBLE IN MANY THINGS IF ANYONE DOES NOT STUMBLE IN WORD, HE IS A PERFECT MAN, ABLE TO BRIDLE THE WHOLE BODY.” (JAMES, 3:-2)
