About this listen
With Steve Whitehead.
Our tongue is in many ways what reveals our hearts to the rest of the world. People will judge us by what we say and how we say it. I'm not talking about accents here, whether regional or class. How we say something can mean different things depending on tone of voice.
I like the figures of speech that James employs in his description of how dangerous the tongue can be. They tell us much about the world in which James lived and by and large they communicate clearly to us today.
None of us truly controls our tongue. Admitting the fact is a start. With God's spirit to guide us, we can aim to do better. And when we fail, as we surely will, we can respond like David in godly sorrow and genuine remorse and be confident that in God our Father, we have forgiveness through his Son, our Saviour, Jesus.
