Bible Study For The Month...
My favorite inspirational verses for this month is...
James 3:6-10
among the parts of the body. It corrupts the
whole person, sets the whole course of his life
on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.
(7) All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles
and creatures of the sea are being tamed
and have been tamed by man, (8) but no
man can tame the tongue. It is restless evil,
full of deadly poison. (9) With the tongue
we praise our Lord and Father, and with it
we curse men, who have been made in God's
likeness. (10) Out of the same mouth comes
praise and cursing. My brothers this should not be.
James compares the damage the tongue can do
with a raging fire- the tongue's wickedness has
it's source in hell itself. The uncontrolled tongue can do
terrible damage. Satan uses the tongue to divide people
and pit them against one another. Idle and hateful words
are damaging because they spread destruction quickly,
and no one can stop the results once they are spoken. We
dare not be careless with what we say, thinking we can
apologize later, because even if we do, the scars remain.
It is better to fight a fire than go around starting a new one.
Before you speak, remember that words are like fire- you
can neither control nor reverse the damage they can do.
Remember we are not fighting the tongue's fire in our own
strength. The Holy Spirit will give us increasing power to
monitor and control what we say, so that when we are
offended, the Spirit will remind us of God's love, and we won't
react in a hateful manner. When we are criticized, the Spirit will
heal the hurt and we won't lash out.
