Chapter 6 ~ June
Job 6:24 (NKJV)
24 “Teach me, and I will hold my tongue;
Cause me to understand wherein I have erred
Cause me to understand wherein I have erred
There are many ways we can learn ..about language and speech, from books, many books of the bible depending on which version you use. The word Tongue is used over 150 times in the bible. Over and over it tells us to hold our Tongue ..
One would think that, learning knowledge would be to prevent one from becoming a Tongue Slasher ..
Psalms 10:7 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and oppression; Under his tongue is trouble and iniquity.
James 1:26 If anyone among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one’s religion is useless.
James Chapter 3 is Very Clear about ... "The Untamable Tongue"
13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by good conduct that his works are done in the meekness of wisdom. 14 But if you have bitter envy and self-seeking in your hearts, do not boast and lie against the truth. 15 This wisdom does not descend from above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic. 16 For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there. .
Tongue Splashing would be like the words in
Psalm 35:28And my tongue shall speak of Your righteousness And of Your praise all the day long.
Psalm 37:30 The mouth of the righteous speaks wisdom, And his tongue talks of justice
James 3:17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy. 18 Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace

James Chapter 3 is Very Clear about ... "The Untamable Tongue"
3 My brethren, let not many of you become teachers, knowing that we shall receive a stricter judgment. 2 For we all stumble in many things. If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body. 3 Indeed,[a] we put bits in horses’ mouths that they may obey us, and we turn their whole body. 4 Look
also at ships: although they are so large and are driven by fierce
winds, they are turned by a very small rudder wherever the pilot
desires. 5 Even so the tongue is a little member and boasts great things.
See how great a forest a little fire kindles! 6 And the tongue is
a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is so set among our members
that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature;
and it is set on fire by hell. 7 For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and creature of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by mankind. 8 But no man can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. 9 With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the similitude of God. 10 Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so. 11 Does a spring send forth fresh water and bitter from the same opening? 12 Can a fig tree, my brethren, bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh.[b] Heavenly Versus Demonic Wisdom13 Who is wise and understanding among you?

Language is different from speech.
Language is made up of socially shared rules that include the following:- What words mean (e.g., "star" can refer to a bright object in the night sky or a celebrity)
- How to make new words (e.g., friend, friendly, unfriendly)
- How to put words together (e.g., "Peg walked to the new store" rather than "Peg walk store new")
- What word combinations are best in what situations ("Would you mind moving your foot?" could quickly change to "Get off my foot, please!" if the first request did not produce results)
- Articulation
- How speech sounds are made (e.g., children must learn how to produce the "r" sound in order to say "rabbit" instead of "wabbit").
- Voice
- Use of the vocal folds and breathing to produce sound (e.g., the voice can be abused from overuse or misuse and can lead to hoarseness or loss of voice).
- Fluency
- The rhythm of speech (e.g., hesitations or stuttering can affect fluency).

Will you be a Tongue Splasher or a Tongue Slasher
Let me explain what I mean ..
A Tongue Splasher uses good words to make sentences, to share thoughts and expressions ..
It would be like using Beautiful colors .. like found in the Rainbow .. to write your words in the atmosphere.
A Tongue Slasher uses foul words in sentences, in their thoughts and expressions ..It would be like using dark, black depressing colors ..like walking under a dark cloud in an angry storm in the atmosphere.
OH so many things we can write about that Mighty Weapon .. the Tongue ..
James 3:5 Even so the tongue is a little member and boast great things.
Today I choose to splash the atmosphere with colors from the Love of God's promise of the rainbow .. With flooding and water all around us and more rain expected today .. But we Know God is with us .. Isaiah 32:2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned, Nor shall the flame scorch you So according to the word of God when we go through the waters we will not drown and when we go through the fires we will not burn .. Many have lost their first love .. To serve the Lord .. and then there are others who haven't met Him yet ... End days are soon approaching.. when All with have to make that choice ..
So let me End by using this last bible verses in Romans Chapter 14 it truly says it all ..
Romans 14New King James Version (NKJV)
The Law of Liberty
14 Receive one who is weak in the faith, but not to disputes over doubtful things. 2 For one believes he may eat all things, but he who is weak eats only vegetables. 3 Let
not him who eats despise him who does not eat, and let not him who does
not eat judge him who eats; for God has received him. 4 Who
are you to judge another’s servant? To his own master he stands or
falls. Indeed, he will be made to stand, for God is able to make him
stand.
5 One person esteems one day above another; another esteems every day alike. Let each be fully convinced in his own mind. 6 He who observes the day, observes it to the Lord;[a] and he who does not observe the day, to the Lord he does not observe it.
He who eats, eats to the Lord, for he gives God thanks; and he who does
not eat, to the Lord he does not eat, and gives God thanks. 7 For none of us lives to himself, and no one dies to himself. 8 For if we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. Therefore, whether we live or die, we are the Lord’s. 9 For to this end Christ died and rose[b] and lived again, that He might be Lord of both the dead and the living. 10 But
why do you judge your brother? Or why do you show contempt for your
brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.[c] 11 For it is written:
12 So then each of us shall give account of himself to God. 13 Therefore let us not judge one another anymore, but rather resolve this, not to put a stumbling block or a cause to fall in our brother’s way.
The Law of Love
14 I know and am convinced by the Lord Jesus that there is nothing unclean of itself; but to him who considers anything to be unclean, to him it is unclean. 15 Yet if your brother is grieved because of your food, you are no longer walking in love. Do not destroy with your food the one for whom Christ died. 16 Therefore do not let your good be spoken of as evil; 17 for the kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. 18 For he who serves Christ in these things[e] is acceptable to God and approved by men.19 Therefore let us pursue the things which make for peace and the things by which one may edify another. 20 Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All things indeed are pure, but it is evil for the man who eats with offense. 21 It is good neither to eat meat nor drink wine nor do anything by which your brother stumbles or is offended or is made weak.[f] 22 Do you have faith?[g] Have it to yourself before God. Happy is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves. 23 But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because he does not eat from faith; for whatever is not from faith is sin.[h]
