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).
