James 3:8 but no one can tame the tongue. It is restless and evil, full of deadly poison. 9 Sometimes it praises our Lord and Father, and sometimes it curses those who have been made in the image of God. 10 And so blessing and cursing come pouring out of the same mouth. Surely, my brothers and sisters, this is not right!
While in my hotel room last night, I caught a 'documentary' on HBO about Ted Haggard. If your like me, I don't get this channel at home, but if you do, or are able to watch it somehow, it's worth watching. All I can say was I saw a very broken man. I thought the documentary was well done, and I am willing to give Haggard the benefit of the doubt as to what he said in the hour long show. I don't know how many people would want their sins (and yes, his were very ugly, but no worse than mine), broadcast to a nation of people waiting to pounce on Christians, but his were, and now he's paying for it. Here was a man who spoke to and for the Christian community, and is now at rock bottom. One revealing thing to me was how the church at large responded to him-not good. Thus my reference of James 3.
