We have heard many times about the danger of excessive and unnecessary talking. Our words can have loving consequences or they can have the opposite effect - namely damaging. Once we say It, we cannot take it back. Thus, We have to be on guard with our words. The Bible tells us about this.

Alright .... Can you take what you give? Can you swallow a dose of your own medicine? Are you a “do as I say, not as I do” type of person? Can you take the same harmful, bad treatment, or unpleasant things that you have inflicted on others? Can you sustain an attack in the same manner in which you attack someone else?
