Words are powerful, like it or not. Joking or not. They cut, hurt, tear down when you say unpleasant things. They encourage, build up when you say pleasant things.
When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal. Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go. Likewise the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boast. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. The tongue also is a fire... James 3:1-5
So, choose, nc, on what to say and when to say. Sorry for the times my words have been like a fire!
