Hi Jim, I have been inspired by the comments that have written. The tongue indeed is unruly. You have probably seen Dr. Charles Stanley, out of Atlanta, preach on TV. He gave a sermon on Putting on the Whole Armor of God-daily. This has probably been the most helpful admonition to me, because it has a constant reminder for the day to stay undefined -even with your tongue. Some times it has been very hard not to return angry, hateful words to someone who is spewing angry words at you but I have found the rewards of not spewing back angry words has resulted in some people coming into an understanding that, there is a better way- and that I was a part of them coming into that understanding. A friend gained is better than angry rhetoric. Thanks for sharing. Ann M. Nurse

Hi Ann, it is very important to put on the armour of God every day. Because without it, we are inviting the devil in to play games with our soul.

Dr Charles Stanley

Ephesians 6:11  Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

Thank you for stopping by Ann, and I hope you are having a blessed weekend!

Hi Jim,

What a day - and I am exhausted!  My little grandchildren do have a way of wearing me out.

During our "whirlwind day" I had so many opporunities to "bite my tongue".  I slipped once and immediately thought of this forum. 

Somewhere I heard that God will give me credit for trying, even when the I slip and fail, and long as I get back up and brush myself off and start all over again!

Hi Judy, It sound like you might be referring to righteousness by works. If you are a born again Christian (baptized by immersion, as Christ was) then all you need to be concerned with is righteousness by faith.

Here is a text to illustrate:

1 John 1:9  If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
