The fourth warning is what I call the small destroyer. The tongue. Words.
Words are a powerful force. Proverbs 6:2 says, "You are snared by the words of your mouth. You are taken by the words of your mouth." And if you read the book of James, he compares our tongues to a forest fire and the fire of hell. 🔥 Fire causes damage. Our words can cause damage as well. The words you say can destroy relationships which you have built your whole life. Think of all the great accomplishments humanity's made over the past 2,000 years. Since James wrote this book, we, humans have flown to the moon, created smartphones that can call people on the other side of the world, and even created moving holograms. However, we have not found a way to control our tongue. The same tongue that we use to praise God, we often use to bring down people. Our words truly matter. Since they hold such weight in both our life and the life of those around us, we should try to control our tongues.
