James Various Scripture

My Problem Tongue: Various passages in James
The average person speaks 18,000 words a day, and the Bible warns, “In the multitude of words sin is not lacking” (Prov. 10:19). This theme is woven throughout the little Book of James, who warns us of:
1. The Hasty Tongue--James 1:19 and 26
2. The Haughty Tongue--James 2:2–4
3. The Hellish Tongue--James 3:2–12
4. The Hateful Tongue--James 4:11
5. The Heathen Tongue--James 5:12
Conclusion: If your problem is your tongue, spend some time reading through the Book of James, underlining his references to the tongue and memorizing some of these verses. Ask God to help you restrain your tongue and give you the tongue of the wise. (Morgan, R. J. Nelson's Annual Preacher's Sourcebook : 2003 edition. Page 77. Nashville: Thomas Nelson Publishers)
