Do not let any unwholesome
talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. — Ephesians 4:29
We can use our words to be cute. We can use our words to appear impressive. We can use our words to win arguments. We can use our words to defend ourselves. We can use our words to lie and distort. We can use our words to do many things, but God wants us to use our words to bless. So when we speak, if our words do not bless and benefit those to whom we direct them, then we are to simply not say anything. Grandma was right. "If you can't say something nice, then don't say anything at all."
Who Will Fight For You
Deuteronomy 3:22
You must not fear them, for the Lord your God Himself fights for you.’
Confident In God’s Promises
Numbers 13:30
Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, “Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it.”
The inevitable penalty
Matthew 5:26
Assuredly, I say to you, you will by no means get out of there till you have paid the last penny.
The conditions of discipleship
Luke 14:26-27
“If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple. And whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple.
Luke 14:33
So likewise, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has cannot be My disciple.
