The Power of the Tongue - Phil Kendon
Words have incredible power for good and for evil. With words, politicians have changed the course of a nation, activists have mobilised people for change, and peacemakers have settled violent disputes. And yet, the tongue is most difficult to control and often gets us into trouble. The apostle James speaks to us in strong language about the importance of our speech and our need for God to transform our hearts so that we speak with pure lips.
