In this Sunday Bible Study edition, I walk through the final installment of our seven-week series on wisdom from Proverbs, focusing on the power of the tongue—how it can curse, lie, bare tales, talk too much, and speak too soon, and how, when surrendered to God, it can bring peace, offer wise reproof, deliver souls, teach the things of the Lord, and carry the gospel. We move briskly through dozens of Scripture references—from Proverbs, Jeremiah, James, Romans, and beyond—looking at real-life applications, everyday pitfalls, and practical ways to guard our speech and use our words for God’s glory. I also share updates on recent and upcoming show formats, invite your feedback and questions, and preview potential new series on Dispensations or Revelation starting next week. Wherever you’re listening, I pray this study helps us all bridle our tongues and build others up in truth and charity.

Resources and next steps: Read Proverbs 10–21; James 3; Romans 3; 1 Peter 4. Reflect on “a soft answer turneth away wrath” (Prov. 15:1) this week.
Share your takeaways or questions via the website contact form or comments, and let us know which series—Dispensations or Revelation—you’d like next.
