The Power of the Tongue

God intended our Christian life to be distinct from the world. That distinction includes, not only our behavior, but our words as well.

One very basic lesson we get from the book of Proverbs concerning our words is this: Your mouth can hurt, and your mouth can help.

Here is a list of Proverbs that emphasize that idea:
