Read James 3:1-12. This is only one of many verses in which the Bible warns us of the dangers of gossip and other forms of "cheap talk." Why are we so ready to speak ill of others that the Bible has to remind us over and over not to do it? How can we remember to tame our tongues? Here is one idea: We can THINK:
"T - is it true?
H - is it helpful?
I - is it inspiring?
N - is it necessary?
K - is it kind?
If what I am about to say does not pass those tests, I will keep my mouth shut!"
