The Tongue has the capacity to illuminate or incinerate. When you race towards a confrontation with an annoying person, or enter into a conversation about an absent person, your prayerless communication will always shed far more heat than light.
During this political season, snarky, sarcastic tweets from well-educated religious leaders are meant to be clever, prophetic insight. Too often they only reveal a hole in their hearts where holiness should reside.
NOTE TO SELF: Your sharp tongue reveals a dull prayer life. Spewing what is in your heart on Twitter, doesn't make you clever. It just makes you a twit. When you fail to pray before you speak, you are setting in motion a scorched earth policy that was birthed in hell, not in Heaven. Burning down the house and sitting on the ash heap doesn't make you king of the hill.
TALK LESS! PRAY MORE!
