FROM THE HEART TO THE TONGUE
Tongue - a flexible muscular organ in the mouth
used in tasting, swallowing, and for speech.
“Many things are opened by mistake, but none so
frequently as the mouth.”
James 3:2 For we all stumble in many things. If
anyone does not stumble in word, he is a perfect
man, able also to bridle the whole body.
3 Indeed, we put bits in horses' mouths that they
may obey us, and we turn their whole body. 4
Look also at ships: although they are so large and
are driven by fierce winds, they are turned by a
very small rudder wherever the pilot desires.
5 Even so the tongue is a little member and
boasts great things. See how great a forest a little
fire kindles! 6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of
iniquity. The tongue is so set among our members
that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the
course of nature; and it is set on fire by hell. 7
For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and
creature of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed
by mankind. 8 But no man can tame the tongue.
It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. 9 With it
we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse
men, who have been made in the similitude of
God. 10 Out of the same mouth proceed blessing
and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not
to be so.
1 John 4:20 If someone says, "I love God," and
hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not
love his brother whom he has seen, how can he
love God whom he has not seen?
Mat 12:34 "Brood of vipers! How can you, being
evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance
of the heart the mouth speaks. 35 "A good man
out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth
good things, and an evil man out of the evil
treasure brings forth evil things.
Matthew 15:11 it is not what goes into the mouth
that defiles a person, but what comes out of the
mouth; this defiles a person.“
Matthew 15:16 And he said, "Are you also still
without understanding? 17 Do you not see that
whatever goes into the mouth passes into the
stomach and is expelled? 18 But what comes out
of the mouth proceeds from the heart, and this
defiles a person. 19 For out of the heart come
evil thoughts, murder, adultery, sexual
immorality, theft, false witness, slander. 20
These are what defile a person. But to eat with
unwashed hands does not defile anyone."
Proverbs 16:24 Pleasant words are like a
honeycomb, Sweetness to the soul and health to
the bones.
Proverbs 25:11 A word fitly spoken is like apples
of gold In settings of silver.
Proverbs 29:20 Do you see a man who is hasty in
his words? There is more hope for a fool than for
him.
Proverbs 15:26 The thoughts of the wicked are an
abomination to the LORD …
Mt 12:36 "But I say to you that for every idle
word men may speak, they will give account of it
in the day of judgment. 37 "For by your words
you will be justified, and by your words you will
be condemned."
Proverbs 18:21 Death and life are in the power of
the tongue, And those who love it will eat its
fruit.
1 Kings 13:18 He said to him, "I too am a prophet
as you are, and an angel spoke to me by the word
of the LORD, saying, 'Bring him back with you to
your house, that he may eat bread and drink
water.' " (He was lying to him.)
Proverbs 15:1 A soft answer turns away wrath,
But a harsh word stirs up anger.
Proverbs 15:2 The tongue of the wise uses
knowledge rightly, But the mouth of fools pours
forth foolishness.
Proverbs 20:19 He who goes about as a
talebearer reveals secrets; …
"I am more deadly than the screaming shell from
a howitzer; I ruin without killing. I tear down
homes; I break hearts and wreck lives. I have no
respect for truth or justice, no mercy for the
defenseless. You will find me in the pews of the
pious and the haunts of the unholy. I am wily,
cunning, malicious, and I gather strength with
age. I make my way where greed, mistrust, and
dishonor are unknown. I feed on good and bad
alike. My victims are as numerous as the sands of
the sea and often are innocent. I never forgive
and seldom forget. My name is gossip.
2. Cor 10:4 For the weapons of our warfare are
not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down
strongholds, 5 casting down arguments and every
high thing that exalts itself against the
knowledge of God, bringing every thought into
captivity to the obedience of Christ,
"You may not be what you think you are, but you
are what you think."
Proverbs 23:7 For as he thinks in his heart, so is
he…
Proverbs 4:23 Keep your heart with all diligence,
For out of it spring the issues of life.
