MOUTH SPEAK LIFE, build others up, slow to speak

MOUTH SPEAK LIFE, build others up, slow to speak be “quick to listen, slow to speak” instead. But by pausing before speaking, we put the needs of others ahead of our own. We give them the opportunity to express their opinions You don’t have to agree, but you should maintain a posture of respect. “Conduct yourselves with wisdom toward outsiders, making the most of the opportunity. Let your speech always be with grace, as though seasoned with salt, so that you will know how you should respond to each person.” ‭‭Colossians‬ ‭4‬:‭5‬-‭6‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬ https://bible.com/bible/100/col.4.5-6.NASB1995 “The Lord’s bond-servant must not be quarrelsome, but be kind to all, able to teach, patient when wronged, with gentleness correcting those who are in opposition, if perhaps God may grant them repentance leading to the knowledge of the truth,” ‭‭2 Timothy‬ ‭2‬:‭24‬-‭25‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬ https://bible.com/bible/100/2ti.2.24-25.NASB1995 Quit being right at one another and figure out how to get right with one another. Because if the two of you aren’t right, it doesn’t matter who’s right. “Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves; do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others.” ‭‭Philippians‬ ‭2‬:‭3‬-‭4‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬ https://bible.com/bible/100/php.2.4.NASB1995 The tongue has the power to destroy and the power to build up.  every day, in every conversation, you have the power to speak life- “only what is helpful for building others up.” “But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, unwavering, without hypocrisy.” ‭‭James‬ ‭3‬:‭17‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬ https://bible.com/bible/100/jas.3.17.NASB1995 “Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear.” ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4‬:‭29‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬ https://bible.com/bible/100/eph.4.29.NASB1995 we can remember, surrender, and confess. The apostle Paul, when he wrote a letter to Christians living in Rome in the first century, said that Christians are to offer all the parts of their bodies as living sacrifices to God. Finally, we have to confess when we mess up. https://www.anthology.study
