Sickness of the Tongue: A Warning You Can't Ignore

The power of life and death is in your tongue (Proverbs 18:21). In this reflection, Fr. Abhilash explains what the Bible really says about our words — and why 60-70% of our daily problems come from not taming the tongue. We look at James 3:7-8 — man can tame every animal, but who can tame the tongue? — and Ephesians 4:29 and Matthew 12:36, where Jesus says we will give an account for every idle word. Through the story of the village doctor who diagnosed by looking at the tongue, and a personal seminary experience, you will see how gossip, anger, boasting, and careless talk open doors to trouble — and how to use your words to bless, heal and uplift instead. Just to recap what we have heard so far — God created by His Word, and we share in that power. Every word you speak matters.
