How correct James was when
he wrote that the tongue is a flame of fire and full of wickedness.
unfortunately, it is sins of the tongue--backbiting, gossip, and tearing
down another person--that we often excuse. We think that because we do
not murder, commit adultery,or steal we are basically good people. But
James make it clear that certian kinds of speech are wrong. The content
of a Christian's conversation should reflect what has happened in his or
her heart. after all, part of the fruit, or evidence, of the Holy
Spirit's presence in our lives is self-control. The person who has no
control over his or her tongue is usually out of control in other areas
of life. But the person who has discipline over this area of life has
yielded to the control of the Holy Spirit and will undoubtedly be able
to keep other areas of his or her life in check as well.
If you cant say anything godly then all that bla bla bla needs to stop !
SHUT UP ! YOU TALK TO MUCH !
