The tongue can bring death or life; those who love to
talk will reap the consequences.
Proverbs 18:21
3 TRUTHS ABOUT WORDS

1. Words are a ____________________ from
____________________.
2. Words can ____________________ or ____________________.
3. The ____________________ of my life is determined by the
____________________ of my words.

Indeed, we all make many mistakes. For if we could control our tongues, we
would be perfect and could also control ourselves in every other way. 3 We
can make a large horse go wherever we want by means of a small bit in its
mouth. 4
And a small rudder makes a huge ship turn wherever the pilot
chooses to go, even though the winds are strong. 5
In the same way, the
tongue is a small thing that makes grand speeches. But a tiny spark can set a
great forest on ?re. 6
And the tongue is a ?ame of ?re. It is a whole world of
wickedness, corrupting your entire body. It can set your whole life on ?re, for it
is set on ?re by hell itself. 7
People can tame all kinds of animals, birds, reptiles
and ?sh, 8
but no one can tame the tongue. It is restless and evil, full of deadly
poison. 9
Sometimes it praises our Lord and Father, and sometimes it curses
those who have been made in the image of God.10
And so blessing and
cursing come pouring out of the same mouth. Surely, my brothers and sisters,
this is not right! 11
Does a spring of water bubble out with both fresh water and
bitter water? 12
Does a ?g tree produce olives, or a grapevine produce ?gs?
No, and you can’t draw fresh water from a salty spring.
James 3:1-11
“Don’t you understand yet?” Jesus asked.17
“Anything you eat
passes through the stomach and then goes into the sewer.18
But the words you speak come from the heart—that’s what
de?les you.19
For from the heart come evil thoughts, murder, adultery,
all sexual immorality, theft, lying and slander.20
These are what
de?le you. Eating with unwashed hands will never de?le you.”
Matthew 15:17-20
