Taking Control of the Tongue
6/15/06
George Poulo

Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth,
But that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may
Minister grace unto the hearer.  Eph4:29


For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain
His tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile.
1Pet3:10


For in many things we offend all.  If any man offend not in
Word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the
Whole body.James3:2


But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full
Of deadly poison. James3:8

And he said, That which cometh out of the heart of man,
That defileth the man.  For from within, out of the heart of
Men, proceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornication, murders,
Thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, lasciviousness, an
Evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness: All these evil things
Come from within, and defile the man.  Mark7:20-23

But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is
That of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose
Praise is not of men, but of God.  Rom2:29


Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever
Things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever
Things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever
Things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there
Be any praise, think on these things.  Phil4:8


Be not deceived; God is not mocked: whatsoever a man
Soweth, that shall he also reap.  For he that soweth to his
Flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth
To the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. Gal6:7-8
