Thank God that with the tongue we can bless God, as well as our fellow man. Death and life are in the power of the tongue. So we need to ask God for wisdom to say the right words to bring comfort, and healing to the hearers. My former boss always said it is better to walk the gospel, then to talk it. Truely teachers will be under the greater judgement, because our words have to match our actions. I always pray to the Lord to put a guard over my mouth. Only the Holy Spirit can tame the tongue, and we must be filled with the Spirit so that we will speak the things that are pleasing to God. As the scripture tells us to study to be quiet, and do you own business. If we would obey those words there would be less tongue lashing in the church. May the Lord bless us to walk in love, and speak the truth in love.
