Can You Spare A Minute Or So 11/30?

11/30– Can You Spare A Minute?

11/30–James 3: 5-8. Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth! And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell. For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind: But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.

Full of deadly poison. Friend if you saw a rattlesnake would you embrace it. No, I’m sure you would back off.

So, it is with people that don’t control their tongue and use it for criticism. People start backing up from you like they would that deadly snake. A deadly snake can kill you and so can a man with his criticism. One word from a parent to a child can be so powerful and have so much negative effect.

One word from a parent to a child can be so powerful and have such a positive effect! Oh yes, no doubt about it, I’d rather be a builder upper than a tearer downer!in peace of them that make peace.
