James 3:2 - If we wish to align our actions with God’s will in furthering our transformation and obedience to Christ, controlling our tongue is an important first step.
And thanks for reading, Bradley! My language is one of my major sins and a place where my life needs major work. Let’s both pray that the Holy Spirit fills our hearts and minds with a more loving response to those emotional situations that cause us to curse!
Very timely and truthful! I dislike it when I hear our daughters speaking to each other and every other word is an explicative! As they have grown older, finished High school and on to college they have assimilated into society and have taken on the speech of those around them. The only time prior as they were growing up was while overhearing an argument. They were brought up in the church and such words were unacceptable! It breaks my heart to hear it!
This is truth our words shape our actions and as a mortal sinner I fall victim to foul language… this is definitely a weakness and I pray that one day I can overcome the urges to curse as a reaction to an emotional response!
