Restrain our lips!

God has much to say about talking and keeping our mouths under control. Each of us needs to watch what we say and how much we say and determine if we need to say anything at all!!! We hurt so many people by our words! 

Proverbs 10:19 In the multitude of words sin is not lacking, But he who restrains his lips is wise.

The media is destroying our country right now in front of our eyes. They report on a matter before they have all the facts, which gets people stirred up, then the whole story comes which usually paints a different picture, but it is too late the damage and problems are already raging by then! 

We must keep mouths under control which can only be done under the power of the Holy Spirit!

James 3:5-9 Even so the tongue is a little member and boasts great things. See how great a forest a little fire kindles! 6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is so set among our members that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by hell. 7 For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and creature of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by mankind. 8 But no man can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. 9 With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the similitude of God.
Lord help us control the tongue, lips, mouth, or what ever you want to call it!
