WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS ABOUT:
Talk
+ WORDS SHOW THE REAL YOU
+ GOOD TALK, BAD TALK
“A good person produces good things from the
treasury of a good heart, and an evil person
produces evil things from the treasury of an
evil heart. What you say flows from what is
in your heart.” LUKE 6:45
Let your conversation
be gracious and attractive
so that you will have
the right response for
everyone.

If you claim to be religious but don’t control
your tongue, you are fooling yourself, and your
religion is worthless. JAMES 1:26

to get angry. JAMES 1:19

Watch your tongue and
keep your mouth shut,
and you will stay out
of trouble.
