***GOD IS TALKING YOU SHOULD LISTEN*** James 3:5-18 5 Even so the TONGUE is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth! 6 And THE TONGUE IS A FIRE, A WORLD OF INIQUITY (LAWLESSNESS): SO IS THE TONGUE AMONG OUR MEMBERS, THAT IT DEFILETH THE WHOLE BODY, AND SETTETH ON FIRE THE COURSE OF NATURE (GOES AGAINST HOW GOD WANTS THINGS TO BE); AND IT IS SET ON FIRE OF HELL. 7 For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind: 8 BUT THE TONGUE CAN NO MAN TAME (ONLY GOD CAN DO THIS SO IF YOU CURSE YOU DO NOT HAVE GOD IN YOUR LIFE NOR IF YOU DONT CURSE BUT ARE DISOBEDIENT! LET HIS WORD BE TRUE AND EVERY MAN A LIAR! AMEN); IT IS AN UNRULY EVIL, FULL OF DEADLY POISON. 9 THEREWITH BLESS WE GOD, EVEN THE FATHER; and THEREWITH CURSE WE MEN, which are MADE AFTER THE SIMILITUDE OF GOD. 10 OUT OF THE SAME MOUTH PROCEEDS BLESSING AND CURSING. MY BRETHREN, THESE THINGS OUGHT NOT BE SO. 11 DOTH A FOUNTAIN SEN FORTH AT THE SAME PLACE SWEET WATER AND BITTER? 12 Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh. 13 WHO IS A WISE MAN ENDUED WITH KNOWLEDGE AMONG YOU? LET HIM SHOW OUT OF A GOOD CONVERSATION HIS WORKS WITH MEEKNESS AND WISDOM. 14 BUT IF YE HAVE BITTER ENVYING AND STRIFE, GLORY NOT, AND LIE NOT AGAINST THE TRUTH. 15 THIS WISDOM DESCENDETH NOT FROM ABOVE, BUT IS EARTHLY, SENSUAL, DEVILISH. 16 FOR WERE ENVYING AND STRIFE IS, THERE IS CONFUSION AND EVERY EVIL WORK. 17 BUT THE WISDOM THAT IS FROM ABOVE IS FIRST PURE, THEN PEACEABLE, GENTLE, AND EASY TO BE INTREATED,FULL OF MERCY AND GOOD FRUITS, WITHOUT PARTIALITY, AND WITHOUT HYPOCRISY. 18 AND THE FRUIT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS IS SOWN IN PEACE OF THEM THAT MAKE PEACE (NOT SOWN IN VIOLENCE AS CHRISTIANITY WAS). BE ENCOURAGED!!!
