Leonard Ravenhill emphasizes the profound impact of the tongue, likening it to a sword that can inflict deep wounds and damage relationships. He reflects on the various types of tongues mentioned in the Bible, warning that while humanity has conquered many things, it still struggles to tame this small yet powerful member of the body. Ravenhill urges listeners to guard their speech, recognizing that words reflect the condition of the heart and can lead to judgment. He calls for a transformation of the heart to produce pure speech, reminding us that we will be held accountable for every word spoken. Ultimately, he encourages believers to seek a heart aligned with God, where speech glorifies Him rather than harms others.
