Controlling The Tongue #fyp #looneytunes #yosemitesam #porkypig

James 1:26 (NLT)
If you claim to be religious but don’t control your tongue, you are fooling yourself, and your religion is worthless.
"Nobody should think of himself as a religious person if he doesn't keep a bridle or tight rein on his tongue. That is, if we cannot control the words that come out of our mouths, we are lying to ourselves about being religious people. This closely relates to James' prior comments on anger (James 1:19–20), in that self-control is key to the Christian life (2 Peter 1:5–6; Galatians 5:22–23)."

•Is Cursing Really That Big of a
Sin?•
"Modern Cuss Words: Modern cuss words, or profanity, generally refer to vulgar, offensive, or obscene language. While they may not always invoke harm (as cursing does) or involve false oaths (as swearing does), they often reflect a lack of respect, decency, and consideration for others.
The Bible encourages believers to avoid unwholesome talk and to use language that builds others up. Ephesians 4:29 states: "Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.
Using vulgar language can be seen as incompatible with the call to live a holy and uplifting life.
God wants only what is pure and noble to come out of our mouths. When our mouths are spewing out expletives, it dishonors God and who He is to us. When we accept Jesus into our hearts, it should change how we view ourselves and how we present those changes into the world: “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is good and acceptable and the perfect will of God” (Rom. 12:2)."
James warns against self-deception, where people
may outwardly appear religious but their actions,
particularly their speech, reveal a lack of genuine
faith and he encourages readers to actively work on controlling their tongues and to ensure that their
words reflect the genuine faith they profess. This verse emphasizes that true religion is not merely about outward displays or rituals, but about a transformed heart that manifests in practical holiness, including the control of one's speech.

Colossians 3:8 (NIV)
But now you must also rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips.
