Instead of pointing at
the more profane,
If you can't watch your
tongue, your faith is vain,
And those who hear you
speak will think so, too.
There's nothing wrong
with humor if it's clean;
Before you tell a joke,
share first with Christ.
If you can make Him
laugh it's not obscene,
But if the Spirit tugs,
it should be iced.
Beware of what you say,
you're being watched;
You represent religion
to the crowd.
A vulgar tongue leaves
testimonies botched;
The message that you
send is clear and loud.
Your tawdry speech can so deceive your heart.
It's better to be silent than be tart.
~~~~~~~~~~~
If any man among you seem to be religious,
and bridleth not his tongue,
but deceiveth his own heart,
this man's religion is vain.
James 1:26 KJV
