The Power of the Tongue

James 1:19-20 (ESV)Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God. Prov 16:32 Whoever is slow to anger is better than the mighty, & he who rules his spirit than he who takes a city. Prov 14:29 Whoever is slow to anger has great understanding, but he who has a hasty temper exalts folly. — We must be quick to hear, slow to speak, & slow to anger! —Prov 25:28 A man without self-control is like a city broken into & left without walls. Titus 1:8 Be hospitable, a lover of good, self-controlled, upright, holy, & disciplined. Prov 18:21 Death & life are in the power of the tongue,…Exod 20:13 (KJV) Thou shalt not kill. — We must learn to employ self control! After all it is a fruit of the spirit! Love Mel
