IF ANYONE AMONG YOU THINKS HE IS RELIGIOUS,
AND DOES NOT BRIDLE HIS TONGUE BUT DECEIVES
HIS OWN HEART, THIS ONE'S RELIGION IS USELESS.
JAMES 1:26
THE TONGUE CAN BE A BLESSING AND THE TONGUE
CAN BE A CURSE; SAY, FRIEND, HOW ARE YOU USING
YOURS; FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE?
James would have much trouble fitting into many church societies today. Too many people paying meticulous attention to other peoples' lives and not attending to their own.
The Lord had some strong words for these people who are like the Scribes, Sadducees. and Pharisees. Sadly, we have many among the church who could benefit by what Jesus said.
"For with what judgment you judge, you shall be judged: and with what measure you mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why do you behold the speck that is in your brother's eye but ignore the plank that is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye. and then you will be able to see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye."
__Matthew 6:2-5
