The Bible Talks about   TONGUES: WHAT WE SAY.


The Bible refers to words as "fruit."  The fruit of our mouth becomes the
seed we plant in the mind of listeners and ourselves.  The words we speak
show our attitudes, faith, beliefs, and our self-images.  Words are our
confession of who and what we are.  (See BT# 3, "Fruit:  Its Importance).


OUR WORDS REVEAL OUR INNERMOST FEELINGS AND WILL BE USED FOR OR AGAINST US.
MATTHEW 12:35 -37  "A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings
forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth
evil things.  "But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they
will give account of it in the day of judgment   "For by your words you will
be justified, and by your words you will be condemned."
MATTHEW 15:11   "Not what goes into the mouth defiles a man; but what comes
out of the mouth, this defiles a man."
ROMANS 10:10 " For with the heart one believes to righteousness, and with
the mouth confession is made to salvation."


WORDS HAVE GREAT POWER, EVEN TO GIVE LIFE OR TAKE AWAY LIFE.
PROVERBS 12:18 " There is one who speaks like the piercings of a sword, but
the tongue of the wise promotes health."
PROVERBS 12:25  "Anxiety in the heart of man causes depression, but a good
word makes it glad."
PROVERBS 15:1  "A soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up
anger".
PROVERBS 15:23  "A man has joy by the answer of his mouth, and a word spoken
in due season, how good it is!"
PROVERBS 18:21  "Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those
who love it will eat its fruit."
PROVERBS 25:11  "A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of
silver."


KEEP YOUR TONGUE FROM SPEAKING EVIL.
PSALM 34:13  "Keep your tongue from evil, And your lips from speaking
guile."
1 PETER 3:10  "For "He who would love life and see good days, let him
refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips from speaking guile;..."


WE ARE TOLD TO USE OUR WORDS TO CONFESS (ACKNOWLEDGE; AGREE)  THAT JESUS
CHRIST IS LORD AND SAVIOR.
ROMANS 14:11  "For it is written: "As I live, says the Lord, every knee
shall bow to Me, and every tongue shall confess to God."
PHILIPPIANS 2:11  "...and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ
is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."


WE OUGHT NOT TO BE DOUBLE TONGUED.
JAMES 3:10  "Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My
brethren, these things ought not to be so."
