The Tongue

"During a Sunday Service in church, a priest gave the following sermon:
Dear Brothers and Sisters !!!!!
Today I want to talk about a Piece of MEAT.
YES.....THAT Piece of MEAT !!!!!! Sometimes strong and hard, sometimes loose.
That Piece of MEAT that separates brothers and sisters!!!!! Men and Women. !!
That Piece of MEAT that causes Husbands and Wives to divorce!!!
That Piece of MEAT that causes hatred and jealousy between brothers.!!!!
That Piece of MEAT that causes women to fight with women,
It is that Piece of MEAT that is sometimes outside and sometimes more inside than outside .

Beloved brothers and sisters,
It is that Piece of MEAT that can give so much pain, 
but it also brings a lot of UNBELIEVABLE PLEASURE !
Beloved Brothers and Sisters, that's the Piece of MEAT, I want to talk to you about : -

WHICH IS .............................. ...............
DEAR BROTHERS AND SISTERS .....

THE TONGUE !!!!!!!!!
So true are his words. How many times have we cursed, abused, character assassinated and used profanity in our words with the very same tongue with which we praise the Lord. Think about it. A tongue can destroy peace and at the same time it can heal too. What would you prefer?
The Bible says: "Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that by my voice I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue". - I Corinthians 14:19
