5 Proverbs "Proverbial Wisdom for Taming Our Tongues."

We'd love to hear from you. Text us.The ancient Greek philosopher Diogenes once noted: “We have two ears & only one tongue in order that we may hear more & speak less.” Mark Twain observed: “It is better to keep your mouth closed & let people think you are a fool than to open it & remove all doubt.”  What are those?  Those are proverbs about taming our tongues. James says "If anyone considers himself religious & yet does not keep a tight rein on his tongue, he deceives himself & his religion is worthless."  1 Peter 3:10 declares “Whoever would love life & see good days must keep his tongue from evil & his lips from deceitful speech. In our time together today we will be probing a particularly practical problem.  The challenge of keeping our tongues in check.  There are over ninety verses in the book of Proverbs that touch on taming our tongues. Almost all of these verses are found from chapter ten through to chapter thirty.  That’s about four & half references a chapter for twenty chapters.  Obviously, God knows that we need His wisdom when it comes to taming our tongues so he speaks robustly & repeatedly on this subject.  Grab you Bible, a pen, & print out the free downloadable sermon outline & accompanying study guide & let's get Washed in the Word!Free Sermon Outlines & Study Guides for Old Testament books are available at: https://washedintheword.life/ot-study-guides Free Sermon Outlines & Study Guides for New Testament books are available at: https://washedintheword.life/nt-study-guides
