beware of the tongue!

[bellalina]

The tongue, the smallest but the most dangerous organ

The Bible compares the tongue with a rudder of a ship that can direct an entire ship or with a small fire that can set fire to a whole forest.

And look also at the boats: although they are so big and the winds that push them are strong, the pilots, with a small rudder, guide them wherever they want. The same goes for the language; It is a very small part of the body, but it is capable of great things. What a big forest can be burned by a small fire! (Jam 3: 4-5)

brothers the tongue is the smallest organ of the body, but it is the most dangerous, and we have to be very careful because with it we can bless and curse, which should not be done.

Blessing and cursing come from the same mouth. My brothers, this should not be like this.
Santiago 3:10

The language is able to express the most recondite things of the body, of the mind and of the soul itself, just as man is complex, it is equally complex to learn to speak, since the Bible makes mention of the characteristics of good speech, as for example: The one of good speech ... "It does not gossip", "It does not slander", "It does not speak lies", "It does not give false testimony", "It does not say vain words", among others.

Well hold your tongue to speak evil,
and never tell your lips lies. (Ps 34:13)

For evil and to invent lies
you loose your tongue and lips. (Ps 50:19)

Brothers, the solution to the problem of our language is to submit ourselves more to God, fill ourselves more with the Word, let the Spirit control us, make personal evaluations of the spiritual life every day, and strive to be different and discipline ourselves in the form of talk. Tips: if someone comes to tell you something bad about other people, do not listen to them and suggest that they tell the person directly about the bad things they are doing. If you see a brother sin, do something wrong, go directly to this person and let him know the error and if he does not listen, go to the pastor so that together they can go to this person. When you inadvertently hear something, they tell you something, or you realize something, look for the person, do not tell a third person, or let the pastor know this and if you tell another, do it with the intention to help the infragante.

Finally, when you speak, do it with wisdom, love, good intention, to benefit, and try to make it free from prejudice and bad intentions. Tell the truth, only the truth, with a free heart of bad intention, but say it to the right person, in the right place and at the right time and with the words accompanied by wisdom and love. If you ever speak badly, go and ask for forgiveness if you have offended.
