Paul said Christians need to control what they say, especially fault finding. You are watched and held to a higher standard by God and others. You are only as free as you are able to control what you say to others. Be humble as you see others fall short and control your tongue.
James 3:1-4 (TLB) 1-2 Dear brothers, don’t be too eager to tell others their faults, for we all make many mistakes; and when we teachers of religion, who should know better, do wrong, our punishment will be greater than it would be for others. If anyone can control his tongue, it proves that he has perfect control over himself in every other way. 3 We can make a large horse turn around and go wherever we want by means of a small bit in his mouth. 4 And a tiny rudder makes a huge ship turn wherever the pilot wants it to go, even though the winds are strong.
