How many times have you wished you didn't say what you said? The tongue can be unruly if not tamed. And it can say things that will destroy a person and his future. And it's such that some words once spoken can't be retrieved and the effect may never be corrected. So, in this post, the evils of the tongue will be given to broaden your mind to the negative potentials of the tongue.
And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is so set among our members that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by hell - James 3:6 (NKJV).
His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and oppression; under his tongue is trouble and iniquity - Psalms 10:7 (NKJV).
Introduction
The tongue is a fire, full of iniquity, and it has the capability to defile the whole body and set on fire the way of nature. And this is the state of many people, for they have allowed the tongue to yield to its negative side. Hence, the scriptures have in many places warned us by giving us the evils the tongue can manifest. This is for us to learn and take caution.
The Evils Of The Tongue
The tongue devises destruction.
It talks and devises how a person is to be destroyed, thereby communicating evil to another. And once carried out, if God doesn't intervene, destruction of the victim is imminent.
Your tongue devises destruction, like a sharp razor, working deceitfully - Psalms 52:2 (NKJV).
It practices deceit
With the tongue, many people deceive people, for they say the wrong things as the right things. By so doing they paint the wrong picture in the mind of the other person, causing him to accept false as the truth. This is what deceitful tongue does because it loves words that devour.
Their throat is an open tomb; with their tongues they have practiced deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips - Romans 3:13 (NKJV).
You love all devouring words, you deceitful tongue - Psalms 52:4 (NKJV). Read more...
