Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee. Proverbs 4:23-24 Maybe other members can post some favorite verses about our hearts and also of how our speech can affect us spiritually? So important to watch how we speak as this goes down into our inward parts or heart. Will try to add more verses bit by bit. Please join in.

Too many people think language is "just words", like it is a trivial thing. What you say and how you say it is important as a follower of Christ, as it reveals your mindset/heart and brings honor to our Lord.

Everyone does NOT hear alike.. Words are confirmation of what one has on the mind, and what one has on the mind is lead by the Heart.. Before I pleaded to Christ to take my heart,. I thought I could read my way to Him.. I responded to other believers as one who read the Bible. And their response was as one who HEARD me.. I was content with their response to my words..it was at that time enough for me to fancy myself a genuine believer.. God will NOT stand for your PIECE of you!... The conviction of the Holy Spirit shined a light on the source of my stupidity.. and it was DARK... WHOSO KEEPETH HIS MOUTH AND HIS TONGUE KEEPETH HIS SOUL FROM TROUBLE.... peace be with you 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So important to watch how we speak as this goes down into our inward parts or heart. Will try to add more verses bit by bit. Please join in. This scripture; “keep thy heart with all diligence for out of it are the issues of life” Is for me such a profound scripture. For it speaks of the center or the ground of life. Speaks of that which we are judged upon. For scripture also says concerning the heart; “only a fool says in his heart their is no God” and again; “you shall find me when you search for me with all your heart.” Once again bringing to light, it is what goes on in the heart that is that that is of value. When I was a teenager I remember being questioned about whether I believed in God or not. With my mouth I said “no”, because that was what everyone else was saying. But in my heart rose up the thought, “you lying sack!, yes you do!”. It was so vivid that to this day I still remember it. For out of my heart rose an issue of life. Much love in Christ to all, Not me Edited October 23, 2018 by Not me 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver. Proverbs 25:11 I agree. One of my favorites. There is a song with these lines: Like Apples of Gold in pictures of silver A word fitly spoken shall be, Like Apples of Gold in pictures of silver Let my life bring glory to thee. Proverbs 25:11 King James Version (KJV) "A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver." 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
