Bridle Your Tongue

James 1:26 NIV

And your desk looks like you haven't been there for weeks, with work piled impossibly high. At lunch, the regular group is sitting around the lunchroom, bad-mouthing everyone they can think of. When they start in on the boss, someone who at this point, you'd just as soon smack as look at, what comes out of your mouth? How's your witness?
