  1. The Untamable Tongue James 3:1-12

  2. “It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible gods and goddesses, to remember that the dullest and most uninteresting person you talk to may one day be a creature which, if you saw it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship, or else a horror and a corruption such as you now meet, if at all, only in a nightmare. All day long we are, in some degree, helping each other to one or other of these destinations. It is in the light of these overwhelming possibilities… that we should conduct all our dealings with one another, all friendships, all loves, all play, all politics. There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal. Nations, cultures, arts, civilizations — these are mortal, and their life is to ours as the life of a gnat. But it is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub, and exploit—immortal horrors or everlasting splendors.” – C.S. Lewis, “The Weight of Glory” 

  3. “All men are our neighbors, and we are to love them as ourselves. We are to do this on the basis of creation, even if they are not redeemed, for all men have value because they are made in the image of God. Therefore they are to be loved even at at great cost.” -  Francis Schaeffer, “The Mark of a Christian”

  4. -Brevity Prov 10:19 When words are many, transgression is not lacking, but whoever restrains his lips is prudent. -Forgettable Prov 12:19Truthful lips endure forever, but a lying tongue is but for a moment. -Acceptable Prov 10:32Thelips of the righteous know what is acceptable, but the mouth of the wicked, what is perverse.

  5. -Healing Prov 12:18Thereis one whose rash words are like sword thrusts, but the tongue of the wise brings healing. Prov 16:24Graciouswords are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body. -Edification Prov 15:7Thelipsof the wise spread knowledge; Prov 25:11Aword fitly spoken is like apples of gold in a setting of silver  -Self Preservation Prov 13:3Whoeverguards his mouth preserves his life; he who opens wide his lips comes to ruin. Prov 14:3Bythe mouth of a fool comes a rod for his back, but the lips of the wise will preserve them.
