What does God say to us about how we speak, yes that means in our homes, to our family, to everyone else around us? Well, here is a little blerb I found. And guess what, God means what He says in the Bible. Sometimes I think one of the biggest sins we deal with his how we speak. Does your life speak words of life or death?
Speak to edify. In the same Bible verse 8 of Philippians 4, Paul says that we should speak words of virtue. Virtuous words are words of excellence and value, words that produce good fruits, that build up the speaker, listener and everyone else.
Speak words of praise ---- words that praise the great works of God. Talk about His great creation in all of his wonderful glory. Talk about God's Work on earth today ---- the Work that's spreading the good news of the Kingdom of God. Speak words of praise about the good in other people. Encourage others to do their best. Comfort other people when they are discouraged.
In short, use your tongue to bring life ---- not death!
