Matthew 12:36-37..."But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.  For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned."  How careful are we each day with our "words"...at home with our family, at work, even at church with our friends?  Do we use our words enough for good....or to speak up & tell others about Christ when we're given opportunities? - Jason Barrett

Matthew 12:36 - "But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgement." What a powerful statement. I couldn't even guess how many idle words I've uttered in my lifetime. We need to make sure we are very careful with our words because we will answer to God for them. - Steve Boots

Ecclesiastes 10:12,14a - "The words of a wise man's mouth are gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself...A fool also is full of words." I think of our preacher with this description of gracious words and how he often prays & waits before speaking.  How does our speech portray us to others? - Jason Barrett

Proverbs 17:28 - "Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding."  How many times this week have I said something without thinking?  Making a habit of internally asking God for wisdom before speaking will help us have fewer opportunities of saying something we wish we hadn't. - Jason Brothers
