A great reminder to all Christians! Especially important during elections as well. Listening to the political ads is like listening to children whining about what the other one did. Then, of course, just like satan wants, the ones listening go off and spout the same vile words.
As I go through my “memories” on facebook I actually feel sick to my stomach. I know I wasn’t as bad as some people with their comments, but it still sickens me. Many times I would reason with myself that it was righteous indignation or just trying to wake people up. That’s not how you do it though. I am glad that I never stooped to the level of personal attacks on other FB users, although I was certainly attacked just by asking simple questions and making sure I wasn’t snarky. Oh what a mess that FB community is!!

James 3:6 James 3:8 James 3:17 James 3:18 Vile words DO come from the heart and God knows our heart. Good idea to choose our words very carefully and get that stuff out of our heart while we can. It’s a full time job, I’m one of the worst at speaking before consideration, and acting on emotion then suddenly regreting it. problem is,
most times they can’t be taken back. The damage is done. It’s amazing how one short comment or act from a stranger can change our whole day either for better or worse.
The tongue is indeed very powerful.
