To Ishot bambi
Bambi, I said I would think on what you had to say and of course you are correct in that I come up short as a christian in many ways. Certainly a mark of a mature christian would be his ability to control his tongue. Our speech is a tool that betrays the condition of our heart and our maturity level. We can have no better example than of Jesus Christ at His trial. . .where "He opened not His mouth". When we lose our temper we are useless to God and the church until one repents and recieves the Lords correction. Yes I fall short of this in some areas of my walk and I still feel that rather than defend myself or point fingers I will accept your rebuke and take the full blame of all the problems you were refering to. I won't swear to becoming a perfect person but will strive to keep these things in mind.
