Voice of a Vessel

       Someone who has a tongue, has an evil thing. Unclean, both physically and spiritually, it moves about longing to produce futile words. It is as an axe, though sometimes useful, it is ultimately a tool for destruction.
       Someone who speaks must first learn to tame human tendencies. Speech left unbridled communicates the essence of our carnality, but if guided by the bit can please both God and man. Like an animal that has not been broken, so is the fleshly nature of our speech.
       Someone who teaches is in danger of the judgment. Be sure that the teaching is in line with the Truth, so that you may rest in knowing that you have sown a seed that is free from penalty. A seed springs forth from the ground, yet it is only deemed worthy by its roots below, the soil in which it was planted and the fruit that it yields over a time.
       Someone who is a voice, however, is a worthy vessel.It goes beyond the vanity of words and subtle non-verbal suggestion. A vessel that receives understanding, stores up wisdom and has the ability to distribute these same things is worthy of being called a voice.
