James 3

<< < (4/4)

Jackie Lee:
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.

I remember kids would say sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me.
Words do hurt, not only that but we will be judged for our idle uncontrolable talk.

First off I want to thank all who responded, you really expanded this topic with many things to consider and meditate on. For me this is an incredibly difficult thing, actually an impossible thing without the grace of His Spirit working on me, to bring my thoughts and actions more in line with His will.

Sometimes I catch myself in mid sentence saying things I should not be speaking, it could be at work, among friends and even with my family. It is a great disappointment to stumble, even fall so easily. Thank God He is right there to take me by the hand and patiently bring me back on the path that leads to eventual full Sonship, He does not abandon us!

You know this also extends to our thoughts, even if we somehow are able to bridle our tongue if we are harboring ill will toward another for any reason we are subject to judgment even if these thoughts remain unspoken!

Peace,

Joe

I agree!!
Hebrews 4-12
12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
