Victory over our tongues

The tongue - this instrument of speech can be used destructively or employed constructively

Tongues are used to slander, to gripe, to scold, to nag, to quarrel
Tongues are used to bless and to praise

Most of our problems could be solved if men could get victory over their tongues.


Suppose there were
no anger, no vulgarity, no lying, no grumbling, no complaining
no dirty stories, no unjust criticism

It would have been a different world !!!!


Before we speak, we should ask ourselves
Is it true ?
Is it kind ?

James 1 : 26
If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not keep a tight rein on his tongue, he deceives himself and his religion is worthless.

James 4 : 7
Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you
