The Tongue

James 3:2

"For we all stumble in many things. If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body."

Okay, so I don't feel so bad now. The early church messed up in a bunch or areas too. Anyway, maybe if I cut my tongue off...

James 3:9-12

"With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the similtude of God. Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so. Does a spring send forth fresh water and bitter from the same opening? Can a fig tree, my brethren, bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh."

Why do we say dirty things to people/about people when we say we love God? They were created in His likeness too! They are just as special to Him as we are. So why do we say stuff about people behind their back? We shouldn't be doing this kind of stuff. What type of water are we? Fresh or bitter?

Questions? Comments?
