"Finnish TV Drops U.S. Televangelist's
Show After Call To Assassinate Chavez"
(What a shame that the
only Christian TV channel in Finland had to drop the 700 Club all due to
Pat Robertson not bridling his tongue which should serve as an example
to everyone of us who calls themselves a Christian so that think carefully
about what they are going to say before they speak.)

James 1:26 If any man among you seem to be religious,
and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion
is vain.
James 3:1 ¶My brethren, be not many masters,
knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.
2 For in many things we offend all. If any man
offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle
the whole body.
3 Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that
they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body.
4 Behold also the ships, which though they be so
great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a
very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth.
5 Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth
great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth!
6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity:
so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and
setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.
7 For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of
serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind:
8 But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly
evil, full of deadly poison.
9 Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and
therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God.
10 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and
cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.
11 Doth a fountain send forth at the same place
sweet water and bitter?
12 Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries?
either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh.
