Our mouths can really screw us up don’t you think? We mean one thing but yet something else comes out. I want my mouth to be loaded with an “auto-rewind” feature complete with a “memory erase” button for those I am talking to. In this age of techno-talk I would think it’s totally possible, don’t you? Picture the conversation….you get input from someone and merely reply, “Hold on while I filter possible answers through my lip gear.” After speaking from your fleshly lips, if there is any sense you didn’t speak correctly you merely push the appropriate button saving your butt from the ultimate “faux pas”.
James 3:8 (The Message) but you can’t tame the tongue – it’s never been done. The tongue runs wild, a wanton killer.
