Other areas on the tongue
9th commandment - Thou shall not lie
There are six things the Lord hates, seven that are detestable
Proverbs 6:16
Haughty eyes
A lying tongue
Hands that devise wicked schemes
Feet that are quick to rush into evil
A false witness who pours out lies
And a person who stirs up conflict in the community (rumour monger)
Conclusion
We cannot tame this tongue without the power of Jesus and the holyspirit.
Our focus should be on Jesus.
