Guarding Our Tongues, Part 4
Paul specifically referred to our mind and our heart and not our tongue because again, what comes off the tongue is something that is already embedded in our heart or mind. By the time we actually say something aloud, it’s too late (if it’s negative or the wrong thing to say). The verbalization of something is the result of what has already been spinning around in our minds and heart.
Guarding Our Tongues, Part 3
James states clearly that we are all in the same boat. We all stumble at this or that point. We all fall down. He follows up with the fact that those people who control their tongues (by controlling what they think) are “perfect.” Of course, the word perfect here means complete. They have learned the value of keeping watch over thoughts and words. This is clearly the most difficult part of being a Christian. It really is and if you disagree with that, then I must ask you to read James in its entirety and read it several times, focusing on what James is saying about the tongue.
Guarding Our Tongues, Part 2
Guarding our minds and ultimately our tongues or what comes out of our mouths from our minds and hearts, keeps us in fellowship with God in Christ. If we say things that are sinful, we immediately break our fellowship with God. It is that simple and it will remain broken until we muster enough humility to confess our sin and He will forgive. If we do not humble ourselves, God will endeavor to humble us. If we continue to resist His efforts, He has the option of removing us from this life (1 Corinthians 11:30).
Guarding Our Tongues
James outlines what our demeanor in the world and in our homes should be. We should be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to become angry. Why? James answers the question for us. He says the anger of human beings does not produce the righteousness of God, because our anger is normally born of our own sin. Are you? Am I?
Is President Trump Racist?
The people who hate America should leave and that goes double for people in Congress. It has nothing to do with race and everything to do with ideology. Anyone – regardless of race or gender – who does not support the Constitution as it is does not deserve to be in this country. It is actually that simple.
Society Has Become Seriously Brutish
This is our society. People are very quick to condemn. They are very quick to shout invective and the first swear word that comes to their minds. In lieu of that, they’ll use hand signals.
Wisdom and Foolishness
When you deal with terribly foolish people, sometimes it is simply best to ignore them (v 4). At other times, we cannot allow them to get away with their lies and the best response is one that is factual and unheated (v 5). Let the chips fall where they might. If the person is truly a fool, they may not benefit from the truth you share, but he may start thinking about what you say even if he gives the impression that what you just said makes no sense at all.
Apple’s Attack on Free Speech
John Matze believes in free speech and to prove it, he allows anyone with any viewpoint on Parler. It’s a growing social network that has some bugs that they need to work out. They’ve also been attacked by Left-wing groups in attempts to hack and overwhelm. This is what the Left does. They cannot handle anything that is not aligned with their particular viewpoint and they cannot offer arguments that hold up to scrutiny either. So, their only recourse is to shut things down. Yet, in spite of the fact that Google has deliberately modified their search engines so that conservative content does not come up and YouTube has deliberately canceled people like Steven Crowder and Alex Jones, they all claim they are not doing this.
Big Tech Attacking Democracy
Right now, Big Tech appears to be attacking America’s Constitutional Republic. Once they are satisfied that they have accomplished what they set out to accomplish, how long before they commit to a full frontal, direct assault on Christians and Christianity?
Notorious False Prophet Says Calling Him a False Prophet Will Invoke God’s Wrath
You can ordinarily watch Mark Taylor blather on with his notoriously wrong prophecies on the television program belonging to the disgraced televangelist, rapist, tax-evader, and felon, Jim Bakker. Taylor is one of the many charismatic prophets, like revivalist and “Holy Ghost Bartender,” Rodney Howard Browne, who have made pro-Trump spiritual prophecies into a cottage industry.
