It can turn the entire course of your life into a blazing flame of destruction, for it is set on fire by hell itself. - James 3:6bJames 1:19 (The Message)
19-21 Post this at all the intersections, dear friends: Lead with your ears, follow up with your tongue, and let anger straggle along in the rear. God's righteousness doesn't grow from human anger. So throw all spoiled virtue and cancerous evil in the garbage. In simple humility, let our gardener, God, landscape you with the Word, making a salvation-garden of your life.

Everyone has been guilty a time or two, three, four and more of letting your mouth speak faster than your brain. Without realizing that what you said (maybe) wasn't from God, but from your own thoughts. Yeah, so I'm tackling this issue today and hoping in love to reach down in the depths of your heart to pull those wicked matches out of you.
Our tongue will get us in trouble more than anything. In James 1:19, it says to follow up with your tongue or be slow to speak. We have to allow our everyday speech be guided by God. No, that doesn't mean you can't have fun, go out with your friends, then put on the silent treatment. What it does mean is concerning things of relevancy, that it should be evaluated before God before we hack into it with our own thoughts and words. If you think about it, that's why we get in so many arguments and confusion about the bible (which is sin). And again, (that doesn't mean we can't discuss the bible on what an issue means.) We try to put our own two cents in, when there is a bible that stands firm on what it says. GOD'S NOT STUPID! If He wanted to put in more words, He would have!
We do life everyday with friends, cousins, aunts, uncles, siblings, ourselves. What you say reflects everything about you. You become your words and your words become you. Powerful statement, but true nonetheless! Ask yourself...what kind of words come from your mouth when you get angry? What kind of words come from your mouth when you don't believe in what someone else believes? (Knowing Jesus is the Messiah) Evaluate yourself and allow God to wash your mouth out with His "love-soap." We can get so angry and foolish when things we don't agree with come to the surface. Sometimes "righteous anger" evolves! Jesus, Paul, Peter, and many more that you see in Scripture where their "righteous anger" took place. But when that happens, you still have to let the Holy Spirit speak through you from out your belly, through your tongue, and out of your mouth.
Matthew 21:12-13 (NLT)
12 Jesus entered the Temple and began to drive out all the people buying and selling animals for sacrifice. He knocked over the tables of the money changers and the chairs of those selling doves. 13 He said to them, “The Scriptures declare, ‘My Temple will be called a house of prayer,’ but you have turned it into a den of thieves!”
Here we see an example of Jesus. Jesus had "righteous anger" toward the people in the synagogue. As you can tell, He made a very powerful statement. When you look closely to the statement, Jesus speaks out scripture from the bible! What He said was scriptural. It wasn't His own ideas speaking. And if it were...He's Jesus right?
When we let our own ideas come out...that's when we need to stop, back up, and do as James says. GUIDE OUR TONGUE!
If you back up a little to James 3:1; he says something powerful. He bewares teachers that are not called of God to be careful. He says, "for those who teach will be judged by God with greater strictness." What an awesome responsibility you have if you are a teacher, speaker, preacher, pastor, etc. Only speak truth from the word of God. Don't speak your own ideas. There are many false teachers that are on the rise, saying they are preaching in the name of the Lord...but leading you into darkness with their foolish ideas and doctrine! AMEN!
God is raising up a generation that lives strictly by the WORD OF GOD and speak the WORD OF GOD!!! That believes everything the bible says. That doesn't take a permanent marker and mark out the parts they don't like. That doesn't tear out the pages when they don't like a passage of scripture!
Proverbs 30:6
6 Do not add to his words, or he may rebuke you and expose you as a liar.
Revelation 22:18,19
18-19 I give fair warning to all who hear the words of the prophecy of this book: If you add to the words of this prophecy, God will add to your life the disasters written in this book; if you subtract from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will subtract your part from the Tree of Life and the Holy City that are written in this book.
Say what you say, but back everything up with scripture! Enough said!

Hi there!
I would like to burn a theme at here. There is such a thing, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of financial piramyde, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.
For several years , I make money with the help of these programs.
I'm with no money problems now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I make 2G daily, and my first investment was 500 dollars only.
Right now, I managed to catch a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Turn to my web site to get additional info.

Good day, sun shines!
There have been times of troubles when I felt unhappy missing knowledge about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright stupid person.
I have never thought that there weren't any need in big initial investment.
Nowadays, I'm happy and lucky , I started to get real income.
It's all about how to choose a proper partner who utilizes your money in a right way - that is incorporate it in real business, parts and divides the profit with me.
You may get interested, if there are such firms? I have to answer the truth, YES, there are. Please get to know about one of them:
