O Be Careful of Your Words
O Be Careful of Your Words MESSAGE BY PASTOR RATAN Snack for the Soul Pastor Ratan Babu Baipa October 16, 2022 Dearly beloved in Christ, The Book of James tells us that “the tongue is a small part of the body” (James 3:5). But it goes on to talk about the tongue as if it has a personality, not like a physical part of the body. James goes on to say how this looks. *With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it, we curse human beings, who have been made in God’s likeness (James 3:9).* We often speak words without even thinking if it is hurting the other person and wrecking his life. Therefore, We should think hundred times before we speak. When the Bible is talking about the power in the tongue, it’s talking about the words we say. Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits. | Proverbs 18:21 There is one whose rash words are like sword thrusts, but the tongue of the wise brings healing. | Proverbs 12:18 I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak. Matthew 12:36 For by your words you will be justified, and by your words, you will be condemned.” | Matthew 12:37 Gracious words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body. | Proverbs 16:24 A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. | Proverbs 15:1 My dear brothers and sisters, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires. Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you (James 1:19-21). So Finally, I want to admonish that as children of God we must *” GROW UP”* in spiritual maturity and use our tongue constructively. If you do not know how to speak, learn how to speak, seek God’s help, but let’s not hurt others. With Christ’s Love!
