Carnality of Speech

In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise.  (Pro 10:19)

We have been warned of the sorrows of an unbridled tongue, it is a faculty of our body that has the deadly poison to defile the whole (James 3:6). Our speech reveals the true condition of our heart and our carnality. It is not strange that carnality is not only manifested in lust and ungodly appetite but also in the verbal diarrhea. The carnal Christian will use such speech to compensate for their deep spiritual lack. It is a sign of insecurity and secretly desiring to be included into some self deceptive exclusivity, hence trampling on others and causing division in the process. Carnality never seeks the betterment of others, but selfish exaltation.

The tongue of the just is as choice silver: the heart of the wicked is little worth.  (Pro 10:20)

God will only choose those who have died to carnality to dispense oracles uttered in Holiest of Holy (1 Pet 4:11). Such speech is precious and life bringing and so is the worth of the bearer. Are we of worth to God or to self? It is revealed in the carnality of our speech.
