Evil Speaking

Our words matter. In James 4:11–12, Christians are warned against slander and unrighteous judgment. Speaking evil of others violates God’s law and places us in His role as judge. True disciples speak with humility, judge righteously by God’s Word, and submit fully to His authority—not our own opinions or traditions.

A Christian’s Speech 

Introduction: I would imagine that if you asked the residents of almost any town whether they believe the Bible is indeed the word of God, most would say "yes." Yet, it is easy to see that their belief does not affect how they live daily. This is most evident in people's speech. Many believe there is nothing wrong with lying or taking God's name in vain, to name just a few examples. But what about the Christian? What should characterize his or her speech? It's to those questions in particular that we now turn our attention.

Speaking in Tongues

Due to the influence of Pentecostalism, many people throughout the world claim to have spoken in tongues. By this, they mean ecstatic utterances- unintelligible expressions—sometimes called heavenly languages. What should we make of this? What does the word of God say about speaking in tongues?

FROM THE HEART TO THE TONGUE

The tongue is a marvelous complex instrument with several functions. It used as a sense organ, containing about 9000 taste buds which distinguish between different flavors such as bitter, salty, or sweet things.  It aids in the forming and movement of food as we eat for ease of swallowing.  And it is frequently used to express the temperament of the heart.
