Today’s episode is called The Power of Our Tongue and Thoughts.
In this day and age, social media has given use the ability to share as much as we want with the world. All we have to do is pick up our phones and hit post. I bet if I picked out someone from your friend’s list on Facebook you could tell me who they voted for in the last election, what kind of drama is going on in their life, and what their hobbies are. We have become so comfortable sharing everything with everybody. But what does the Bible say about that?
Proverbs 29:11 “A fool utterth all his mind: but a wise man keepth it in till afterwards.”
Proverbs 17:28 “Even a fool when he holdeth his peace is counted wise and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.”
If you ever find yourself debating on whether or not to post something, ask yourself these 3 things: “Is this true? Is this useful? Does it glorify God?”
Psalms 34:13 "Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile." Guile is defined as an insidiously cunning in attaining a goal; crafty or artful deception.
Matthew 5:37 "But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil."
Matthew 12:36-37"But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned."
Proverbs 13:2-3 "A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth: but the soul of the transgressors shall eat violence.He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction."
Proverbs 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
