"I Must Control My Tongue" Elder Phyllis Bell, Waldorf, MD.

James 3:8-10

8 But the tongue can no man tame: it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. 9 Therewith bless we God, even the Father, and therewith curse we men, made after the likeness of God. 10 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethen, these things ought not so to be. 11 Doth a fountain send out of the same opening sweet water and bitter? 12 Can a fig-tree, my brethren, bear olives, or a vine figs? Neither can a fountain yield salt water and fresh.
