THE TONGUE (JAMES 3:1-11)
TONGUE-THE ORGAN OF SPEECH.
TAKE THIS TIME TO TALK ABOUT THE TONGUE.
THESE SCRIPTURES TALK ABOUT.
A. REALITY OF FAITH TESTED BY CONTROL OF THE TONGUE.
B. A TRUE FAITH WILL CONTROL THE TONGUE.
VERSE 1.
THE MASTERS HERE OUR TEACHERS. REMENBER IN MATTHEW 23:8-10 THE BIBLE TELLS US NOT TO CALL ANYONE RABBI OR FATHER,SO THE MASTER HERE IS A TEACHER.
THE GREATER CONDEMNATION(A STRICTER JUDGMENT).LUKE 6:37 JUDGE NOT,AND YE SHALL NOT BE JUDGE: CONDEMN NOT, AND YE SHALL NOT BE CONDEMNED:FORGIVE,AND YE SHALL BE FORGIVEN;
VERSE 2.
WE LOOK AT THE FIRST PART OF THIS VERSE. AND THE BIBLE TELLS US IN PSALM 34:13 KEEP THY TONGUE FROM EVIL, AND THY LIPS FROM SPEAKING GUILE(DECEIT)
WE LOOK AT THE SECOND PART OF THIS VERSE. AND THE BIBLE TELLS US IN MATTHEW 12:34-37 O GENERATION OF VIPERS HOW CAN YE, BEING EVIL, SPEAK GOOD THINGS! FOR OUT OF THE ABUNDANCE OF THE HEART THE MOUTH SPEAKETH.
35. A GOOD MAN OUT OF THE GOOD TREASURE OF THE HEART BRINGETH FORTH GOOD THINGS: AND AN EVIL MAN OUT OF THE EVIL TREASURE BRINGETH FORTH EVIL THINGS.
36. BUT I SAY UNTO YOU, THAT EVERY IDLE WORD THAT MEN SHALL SPEAK, THEY SHALL GIVE ACCOUNT THEREOF IN THE DAY OF JUDGMENT.
37. FOR BY THY WORDS THOU SHALT BE JUSTIFIED, AND BY THY WORDS THOU SHALT BE CONDEMNED.
VERSE 3.
THE BIBLE ALSO TELLS US IN PSALM 32:9 BE YE NOT AS THE HORSE, OR AS THE MULE, WHICH HAVE NO UNDERSTANDING: WHOSE MOUTH MUST BE HELD IN WITH BIT AND BRIDLE, LEST THEY COME NEAR UNTO THEE.
VERSE 4 AND VERSE 5.
THE BIBLE ALSO TELLS US IN PROVERBS 12:18 THERE IS THAT (ONE WHO) SPEAKETH LIKE THE PIERCINGS OF A SWORD: BUT THE TONGUE OF THE WISE IS HEALTH(IT PROMOTES).
PROVERBS 15:2 THE TONGUE OF THE WISE USETH KNOWLEDGE ARIGHT: BUT THE MOUTH OF FOOLS POURETH OUT FOOLISHNESS.
THE BIBLE ALSO TELLS US IN PSALM 12:3 THE LORD SHALL CUT OFF(DESTROY) ALL FLATERING LIPS. AND THE TONGUE THAT SPEAKETH PROUND THINGS. ALSO THE BIBLE SAYS IN PSALM 73:8,9 THEY ARE CORRUPT, AND SPEAK WICKEDLY CONCERNING OPPRESSION:THEY SPEAK LOFTILY(PROUDLY).
VERSE 6.
THE BIBLE TELLS US IN PROVERBS 16:27 AN UNGODLY MAN DIGGETH UP EVIL: AND IN HIS LIPS THERE IS AS A BURNING FIRE.
LETS LOOK AT MATTHEW 12:36,37 BUT I SAY UNTO YOU, THAT IDLE WORD THAT MEN SHALL SPEAK, THEY SHALL GIVE ACCOUNT THEREOF IN THE DAY OF JUDGEMENT.37 FOR BY THY WORDS THOU SHALT BE JUSTIFIED, AND BY THY WORDS THOU SHALT BE CONDEMNED.
ALSO LOOK AT MATTHEW 15:11 AND 18 NOT THAT WHICH GOETH INTO THE MOUTH DEFILETH A MAN; BUT THAT WHICH COMETH OUT OF THE MOUTH, THIS DEFILETH A MAN. 18 BUT THOSE THINGS WHICH PROCEED OUT OF THE MOUTH COME FORTH FROM THE HEART; AND THEY DEFILE THE MAN.
VERSE 7 AND 8.
LETS LOOK AT PSALM 140:3 THEY HAVE SHARPENED THEIR TONGUES LIKE AERPENT; ADDERS POISEN IS UNDER THEIR LIPS. SELAH
LOOK AT THIS PSALM 58:4 THEIR POISON IS LIKE THE POISON OF A SERPENT: THEY ARE LIKE THE DEAF ADDER THAT STOPPETH HER EAR,
GETTING NEAR A CLOSE.
LETS LOOK AT VERSE'S 9,10 AND 11
SO NOW WE THE TONGUE CAN NOT BE TAMED WITHOUT GOD. ONE TIME WE BLESS GOD AND THE NEXT BREATH WE CURSE MEN.
CLOSE.
