Just Sayin’ is a sermon series that my church taught five years ago. I felt the desire to reteach this on my podcast because it was one of my favorite series.
The tongue can bring death or life; those who love to talk will reap the consequences
Proverbs 18:21
Filters for speaking
1. Contemplate before you communicate
Even fools are thought wise when they are silent. With their mouths shut they seem intelligent
Proverbs 17:28
2. Speak truthfully
There are six things the Lord hates— no, seven things he detests: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that kill the innocent, a heart that plots evil, feet that race to do wrong, a false witness who pours out lies, a person who sows discord in a family.
Proverbs 6:16-19 NLT
3. Speak tastefully
Everything you say must be true, but not everything true must be said
People that have a tongue problem actually have a heart problem.
