Scourge Of The Tongue

Contributed by James Dina on Jul 20, 2020

The tongue is a small weapon. It is a great mercy to be delivered from the tongue. The tongue was originally made to be an organ of God’s praise but it has now become an instrument of unrighteousness. The tongue inflicts greater wounds than the sword.

SCOURGE OF THE TONGUE Job 5:21 ---- "You shall be hidden from the scourge of the tongue, and you shall not be afraid of destruction when it comes." The tongue is a small weapon, but it is a cutting one; it is like a scourge ...read more

Contributed by Grant Adams on Jan 31, 2020

The only institution which Christ founded upon this earth is His Church. He established it more than 1900 years ago. The Church began with just a handful of believers, but through the years many have felt the power of the Gospel message as it was brought to them through the churches.

Men may curse the Church today, but few, I know would want to live in a community where there is no Christian influence, no church. They ...read more

God Can Help You Finish The Race Series

Contributed by James Ledbetter on Jul 23, 2019
