Talk and repent cycle

Obama's pastors say sensitive political comments, stirring up controversy, apologize after realizing trouble.
Sharon Stone also says something inappropriate about the China earthquake, soon apologize after knowing that irritated 1/4 of the earth's entire population.

Think before you talk. Adults should be able to do that. It is wasting everybody's time to say something outrageous then repent.

Here is some ancient wisdom.
"Sickness comes from things going IN your mouth. Trouble comes OUT of your mouth. "

Translation: what you take in (food) can make you sick. What you say can get you into trouble.

Is church a good place for sensitive political comments? NO!

The pastors should stick to their Bible, isn't it?

Let me remind those supposed-to-be-well-respected pastors:
"When words are many, sin is not absent, but he who holds his tongue is wise." (Proverbs 10:19)

"but no man can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison" (James 3:8)
