When you go in for a checkup, the doctor will often ask you
stick out your tongue. It is interesting
that the doctor uses your tongue to evaluate your physical health. Did you know God does the same thing
spiritual? You can learn a lot about a
person from their tongue. James teaches
that self-control and spiritual maturity can actually be confirmed by tongue. James 1:26 James 3:8
We get ourselves into so much trouble by the words that we
speak. Your tongue has the potential to
be a powerful force for good or for evil, so watch what you say. We should say things to build up other
people. A mature person manages his
mouth it does not matter how long you been a Christian; if you cannot master
your mouth, you have missed the point.
The Bible tells us to “speak the truth in love.” Ephesians 4:15 That means I must speak
with the right attitude, at the right time, in the right place and with the
right motive. The mature person has
learned to master his mouth.
