Hey Brothers and Sisters,

Thank you for all the great responses and words to meditate on, actually it was the thread Marques started (All One) that prompted me to study further;

http://forums.bible-truths.com/index.php/topic,8782.0.html

I started thinking about being "idle" in a spiritual sense and it actually became a bit terrifying to consider that every word we utter is subject to judgment by our Lord and God.

Mat 12:36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.

Wow :o

Some severe ramifications to consider....

Peace,

Joe

Hi Joe,

It never ceases to amaze me that often times something happens in my life and then I come here and read pertinent scriptures. 

For example, I was sitting here alone with my husband and he said something mean about someone and I admonished him and he said, "who does it hurt? You are the only one who heard me."  Oh Really????  ;)
I then read him your post.  Perfect.

Hi, That scripture really makes your eyes pop out.  We really need to bite our tongue before we speak.

In His Love,
Marlene

Ninny:
Thank you Joe, that is so true, I especially love verse 17.

"But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy."

If we could just remind ourselves of this before we speak and act.  That is very thought-provoking for sure! I'm going to go to sleep tonight with those words in my heart.
Thank you again!
Kathy :)

kweli:
Forget about VISA, the Scriptures are indeed priceless.

2 Timothy 3
16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,
17 that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly equipped for all good works.

Galatians 6
1 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye who are spiritual restore such a one in the spirit of meekness, considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.

Matthew 5
9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God.

Had Christ gone all Matthew 23 on his disciples, they would have probably been offended as well and possibly even kill Him themselves. But because He knew their hearts (as opposed to the Pharisees' hearts), he exemplified James 3 when among them.

Thanks be to GOD for this thread. I suppose it is true what Ray once said...iron sharpens iron.

All Glory to GOD
