Yes, it only takes one word, thought, jester, or glance, at times - because little things mean a lot. Colossians 3:17 reads, "And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. Christians are called upon by God to use their vocabulary, energy, and talent all for the glory of the Creator and Savior of mankind, Jesus Christ. Thus, one must be very careful to not use their tongues in a negative manner. It may seem like just "One Little Thing", but like the one vote or one turn - it can be long lasting. Jesus said that we were either with Him or against Him (Matthew 12:30), - Let's strive to demonstrate our love for him by being on Jesus' side constantly. He would appreciate that!
