Taming the tongue


Isn't this a great/weird and kinda gross picture all at once? I showed this in church on Sunday as we all took a look at James 3:1-12. James does a great job of reminding us all of the power of the tongue. Unfortunately, that power can be used for good or evil. I find it amazing that we can say such nice, kind things to each other and then a second later lash out and verbally abuse someone. Taming the tongue cannot be done on our own. This is clearly a passage that reminds us that we need to power of God through Jesus Christ to have victory in this area. Any tips as to how you all control your tongue when you want to let a bunch of nasties fly out?
