Sunday Report: Bit by Bit - We can filter our words and “Speak with the Tongues of Angels”

Sunday, February 14, 2010 - Relief Society Presidency Message, “The Tongue of Angels,” Taught by Sister Ellison

Happy Valentine’s Day!  It was nice to see most of  you were able to dig out of the snow and come to church today and worship together! 

Sister Ellison was able to give her lesson we missed from last week - blogged from last Sunday – it was a beautiful lesson.  Read the scripture and the previous entry just below to understand what this picture has to do:  

James 3:2-10 Behold, we put bits in the horses’ mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body. Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth! And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell. But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.

 Ephesians 4:29–32 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice: And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God for Christ’s sake hath forgiven you.
