Nowhere is the relationship between faith and works more evident than in a person’s speech.

You are what you say you are.

Five reasons to control our tongue.

1. Our tongue can condemn.

James 3:1-2a NASB

Matt 28:18-20

James 1:26 NIV

What you are will inevitably be disclosed by what you say.

2. Our tongue can control

James 3:2b-5a NASB

Psalm 39:1 NIV

Philippians 4:8 NIV

What you focus on you FUEL.

Ephesians 4:29-30

A transformed nature will produce transformed behavior.

3. Our tongue is like a spark

James 3:5b-6 NASB

Lies ALWAYS get bigger, they never get smaller

Proverbs 12:22 NIV

Sin comes to you small, but it desires to become great.

Proverbs 16:28 NIV

4. Our tongue cannot be tamed.

James 3:7-8 NASB

Ezekiel 36:27 NIV

Am I living under the influence (of sin) or am I dwelling in His presence?

If you want control you have to give control to the only one big enough to hold the remote.

5. Our tongue is not trustworthy.

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 NIV

Ducks QUACK; eagles SOAR.
