To know to do good ,and doeth it not is a sin.

Wow I come short everyday.
Not willingly, tho..
Now there is time I know, and act upon.
Lord forgiveme, I have to ask,
and not do it again.

Some folks, may ask and KNOW they are going back and do the same thing again.
This is practicing sin.
wow danger grounds there.

There has been times on the spair of a moment
someone may say something, and I comment back to them,
with a split second before knowing I should't
say that, I go ahead and do it anyway. This is wrong.
I willingly did that , when the holy spirit
spoke to me and say don't say that.
I have to ask , Lord forgive me bridle this toungue.
not cursing Im talking about, thanks be to God ,
never practice that.
Oh yea I have heard a lot of christian say I love you Lord
and then curse in the next sentence.
I am always saying how can this be,
are they unaware?
ignortant to the word.?
Maybe it is just ppl get in a comfort zone ,
are they just happy being there.
Beware
Cause , the bible tells us sweet and bitter water don't come from the same fountain.

I was a resturant tonight and had to get up
from where my husband and I was sitting,
and we move to a different section,
because of three men,
cursing every breath.
It made me sick to my stomach.
I wanted to tell them so bad in a nice way.
how Jesus loves them and etc.
I would have but by my husband being there,
out of the three... one would have probally got smart
with me then my husband would have been
tangling with them .
So God had me just to get up and switch tables.
He was talking and thanks be to God , he was not paying them no attention.
I tryed to tune the out , but I was thinking my,
my I know they are doin this around their children and no respect for anyone,
they sure had none,
for them self.


There is christian, that take not a thought to this. Using these words.
When the bible says our tounges are like deadly poison
this is so true.
We can kill ppl, with these tounges. (Not literally.)
Spiturally
I have seen right here at christian forms ,
words said to one another.
That could are have cut so deeply, ppl has left
because of things beening said.
My, My , Lord help me never to stand accused
of doing this.
How do we know when one leaves,
this forum because of getting hurt by another,
Just when God was fixing to open a door ,
to a groweth in the christian life.
That we stood in the way, and we offended them
willingly, when we know we could have prevented
it.
you know when most ppl leave a church, because for what ever reason.
More then half stop going anywhere, and turn their back on God.
We can't stop all that may go though something of this matter when we unaware,
but if we know and can
be the one, shame on us, if we don't because of pride
or anything that may get in the way.

I just want to remind each, lets all Be Christ like
and help each other in our daily walk, not to offend no one.

Lord knows I need reminded, of his word.
I thank God when he lays it on ones heart to post.
A lot of times, I say thanks Lord for reminding me.
So I think all you right now for being lead by God
and making those post , that I stand in need of.

James 3 v 5 "Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!"

James 3 talks about the tongue, and how it can have both blessings and cursing.

Like you, I was once in a restaurant, and those sitting in the table behind me were cursing. I started singing, "Jesus loves me this I know, for the Bible tells me so", and suddenly, they were quiet, and quit cursing...

This is funny that I should read this the Lord was ministering to my heart just last night about bridling the tongue and James three. I can't remember where I heard it or read it but I remember a story about a Rabbi and a man said something really nasty about this particular Rabbi, God pointed out to the man what he had done wrong and the man felt bad. So the man goes to the Rabbi and says is there anything he can do to make up for the things he said. The Rabbi tells the man to take a bag of feathers and sprinkle them in the wind. The man does this when he returns to the Rabbi, he is told to go and pick them up, the man looks at the Rabbi and says "thats impossible" the Rabbi nods and says "the damage you have caused my heart is as countless as the feathers you sprinkled, it is impossible to pick up all of the pieces".

It really touched my heart, everything we say can either bring someone up or break them completely, and sometimes we don't even know we are doing it. It is something I have definately been trying to be very aware of as I know I had a very bad habit of a sharp tongue.

I know that I will fail and fall short at times but I am certainly going to try my hardest to perfect it.

I too remember a similar story (preacher I think instead of rabbi) illustrating the impossibility of rectifying the wrongs we can do with our tongues.

May our failings and our shortcomings be offered to God alone, in sincere repentence and full acceptance of His grace and merciful forgiveness, for no matter how hard we try, we can never perfect our tongues, only God can. The great news is that He will, if we trust and obey! Bless Him, and bless you for sharing your story and the determination and love you have for God.

Your sister in Christ,
EarthMomma

Thank you for starting this thread BLUEEYEANGEL for me it serves as a very good reminder that I should always watch what I say. I hope and pray that whatever I say may be words of kindness, of love not words which destroy another person.
