The Challenge of Righteous Speech - James 4: 11

Out of the heart, the mouth speaks this Jesus did truly clearly say so what our heart is so are we thus it condemns us every day God issues us a mighty challenge speak not evil of one another for we should show love instead to those who are our sister and brother But we have sin lurking inside us seeking to trip us up bringing us down so we need the indwelling holy spirit to fill us fully with His righteous gown We must not speak evil of the law as we do when judging others so for we can't be both judge and doer it can't be done as scripture does show If you are a judge you're not a doer so if you're a doer you're not a judge then make sure you get it correct the divine word just will not budge Remember speak always holy and pure don't allow yourself to verbally fall may your heart and tongue always agree so you obey God's righteous call (James 4:11 "Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.")
