Seed for Oct 9

Life and death are in the power of the tongue. All a judge or king has to do is to speak a death sentence and that sentence will be carried out. All an appeals judge has to do is to commute that sentence and the life is spared. This is great power in the tongue. With this same tongue we can bless God and curse man, made in His image. With this small member we can boast great things, and set our lives on course of hell. The tongue is a little member, but reveals what is in the heart of man. With this same tongue confession can be made to salvation. You see life and death are in tongue. The tongue is the "unruly" member which no man can tame. That is why the Captain of our souls takes control of the tongue as proof of His King-ship of our hearts. You can see who rules a man's heart by who rules his tongue. Life and death are in the power of the tongue. Just listen to how men talk, and know who rules their tongue!
