I agree with the statements in the book of James about the tongue. “We can use it to give thanks to our Lord and Father and also to curse our fellow humans who are created in the likeness of God.” James reminds the readers that although the tongue is a small organ in the body has great power like the rudder that steers a ship and a bit in the mouth of a horse.
That is why we need to be careful and disciplined in the way we speak, for our tongues can be used for blessing and curse. A gentle word turns away wrath, but gossip and slander can destroy the life of our neighbour.
Grace and peace, Kaye
