The human tongue, the smallest of our members, boasts of great things; it is a world of sin; It sets on fire the course of nature; by it we bless God and curse man, formed after Him. Man who was made in God’s own image, the human tongue is quick to attack and to desecrate; God’s cherished creation can be bitterly poisoned by this tiny assassin of hate. This tiny assassin can go on a rampage, wounding and maiming those both far and near; It can cause the mightiest of men to seek shelter, and to run for cover out of fear. The tongue can cripple and make bitter a precious tender heart without warning; It can cause normal outgoing people to cower and hide in a shell of insecurity and mourning. Liberal humanism is a breeding ground for poisonous tongues; it demands its way at any cost; Lascivious lust fuels its motor, shameless resentment sears its conscience, irregardless of the loss. Decency and truth are sacrificed on the altar of carnality; their sharp tongues sever all Godly restraints; God’s Word is labeled as hate speech, as liberal humanistic tongues lash out at the saints. As for the saints, their lives are hidden by Christ in God; the humanistic tongue deems this unfair; Their razor tongue goes on the attack, accusing the saints of bigotry, hiding in their shadowy lair. Although brazen and blasphemous in its boasting, the liberal tongue cannot gain-say God’s Holy Word; It can only scream that it feels offended when their Judgment Day verdict is heard. Every knee shall bow, and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord; On that Great Day the liberal tongue, for its blasphemous bother, will receive its just reward. Saintly tongues shall shout their praises to their Savior; Heaven’s Courts shall ring; Our tongues, hidden by Christ in God, forever freed to praise the Lord of Lords and King of Kings.
