It seems Christians simply do not believe Jesus’ cryptic warning in Matthew 12:36 where He promised that we would all somehow give an account for every idle word we speak. We may not be exactly sure how that reckoning is going to play out, but it tells us enough to know that we had better make it a priority to properly guard what we speak. In today’s world, because of social media, everyone has a platform and an audience. No generation before us has had this type of opportunity, and not everyone is using wisdom when they speak, write, and post. This Truth Shot episode reminds us of all the good that come from our words. It also warns us of all the pain and destruction. May each one of us consider STRONGLY how they are using their tongues in light of all that James 3 teaches about the weight of our words.
