There is nothing in a person that can do greater and more extensive good or harm in spiritual health and temporal matters than the tongue. The Christian is called to keep control of his tongue, no matter what kind of opportunity arises to slander a friend or foe. We pray for those in offices needing to call out sins for the sake of good order (judges, police, doctors) and people’s spiritual welfare (pastors). When sin does occur, God has provided us guidance in the words of Matthew 18:15-20—not for the sake of gossip, but for the spiritual welfare of those redeemed by Christ!

Rev. Scott Adle, pastor of Zion Lutheran Church, Imperial, NE, joins Rev. Brady Finnern to conclude our study of the 8th commandment as confessed in Luther’s Large Catechism.
