Do a quick search of a Bible concordance for the word “tongue” and you’ll find that God has much to say about how we use that little part of our anatomy. Nearly the entire chapter of James 3 speaks about the “untamed” tongue equating it to “a restless evil” and “deadly poison.” And Proverbs 12:18 equates rash words to “sword thrusts.”

NBC and Playboy are as thick as thieves in their promotion of pornography.

She reclines among leopard print pillows, her rouged lips pouting at the camera. But shockingly the model in these highly sexualized pictures is only 10 years old.
