The Tongue - James 3:2-12 (Part 1)

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

Our words betray us. The things that come out of our mouth when we are angry or upset or think that no one is around will one day be known by all. This is a sobering thought. Jesus said in Matthew 12:36-37 (NIV) 36 But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken. 37 For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned." We stand or fall by our words. Does it make you stop and think before you open your mouth? It should.
