Watch your tongue and guard your ears (and heart)

This week's sermon is a very very good reminder to all of us how we should use our tongues. Am not gonna repeat the sermon (you may wanna download) but just wanna share my thoughts regarding the issue related to tongue.

Thou the sermon is abt how we should watch our speech, it is at the same time reminding me not to be influenced by what other people say, especially those speeches that speak against others.

We all fall into the trap of judging others, Example when we hear A talking about Z not being a good person we might tend to agree and unknowingly it becomes a way of judging.

The whole point here is not about knowing whether that person is good or bad but it's a reflection of our hearts.

Think the right way of approuch is to pray for that person. Our agreeing and "see I was right before" kind of judgmental speech is no where near loving. For we all are sinners, saved by grace, thus we are no better than the people that wrong us or mistreat others.

We should pray for them. If they are really wrong, pray for God to have mercy on them. And if those who spoke against them are wrong, pray for them that they may humble their hearts and not be judgementle about others.

For all in all, be it the speaker or the person being spoken of, we should approuch the situation the way a Christain should, love and pray for them that God's word may dwell in their hearts so that they may respond rightly.

Dearest brothers and sisters in Christ, please pray more and dun judge others, please.

God please help us.
