Proverbs 18:20-21 & James 3:1-12
The Bible tells us that we literally eat the words we say. What we say impacts us & everyone we encounter. (Proverbs 18:20-21)
I. Words can discourage us.
Words can harm us if we let them. (Titus 1:7-11)
II. Words can divide us.
One thing God hates is those who sow discord among brothers. (Proverbs 6:12-19)
III. Words can Encourage us!
David encouraged himself. (1 Samuel 30:1-6)
IV. Words can SAVE OTHERS!
Our Words should show others the GRACE of God! (Romans 10:8-15)
V. Words can Encourage OTHERS!
Our Words should show others the GRACE of God! (Colossians 4:2-6)
Our Words should lovingly help those in sin see the error of their way. As Nathan helped David see his sin, we can help others see what is hurting them. (2 Samuel 12:1-15)
Our Words should speak Blessings for our Family, our Church & for God’s Kingdom.
VI. Words can PLEASE God!
All of our words are to PLEASE GOD, at all times! (Psalm 19:7-14)
We speak with God’s Authority when we quote His Word! (Hebrews 4:12-13)
May our Words Please God & Build Up His People!

The Power of the Tongue (Part 1)
Silver Run Baptist Church - Pastor Kip McKee – November 7, 2010 Morning Service
Proverbs 18:20-21 & James 3:1-12
I. The Words we use MATTER! Our words bring us Blessings or Hardships.
Our words give POWER to GOOD things or POWER to evil. The choice is ours.
Our souls literally EAT the words we say. (Proverbs 18:20-21)
Our Praises bring Blessings to us!
Our negative words poison us & others.
Negative words are useful tools for Satan.
II. Criticism should come SLOWLY because NO ONE is perfect!
Only God and His Word can accurately judge us.
Our Christian command is to help each other grow CLOSER to Jesus by encouraging one another. (James 3:1-2)
Jesus said, “He who is without sin throw the first stone.” (John 8:2-11)
III. Criticism should come SLOWLY because we do not always see God’s Plan in the life of others!
God works in mysterious ways. No man can figure out all God is doing with us. (Isaiah 55:6-11 & John 9:1-7)
Let’s Speak Blessings into our life & the Life of Others!
Let’s ENCOURAGE & BUILD Each Other UP!
