“Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues deceive themselves, and their religion is worthless.”(James 1:26)
A tight rein on the tongue shows a tight love of Christ in the heart. Without Christ’s love taking over the heart, the tongue becomes a venomous snake, “- – – a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one’s life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.”(James 3:6)
A tight rein on the tongue is the evidence of a changed heart, not by might nor by strength but by the Spirit of God. ///

It is wonderful to see couples tying the knot to be one, never to be two.
As a married person and a teacher in the area of sexual purity, I can’t tell you how I rejoice whenever I see a wedding.
Yes, the Bible says that marriage protects us from being soaked in sexual immorality (1 Corinthians 7). What a joy then to see someone escaping such a “ruthless tyrant” as sexual immorality!
When the Bible says to husbands to love their wives and to wives, to submit to their husbands, it’s not just giving them a command to obey but also the only way to follow so their houses stay standing. (Ephesians 5:22-30, Matthew 7:24-27)
A married man is one with his wife. (Genesis 2:24)
