Watch your mouth! Even during elections!!!!!

Well folks our elections have come and gone. I probably should have wrote this long ago before the elections! God has warned us about our mouths and what they can do to others....are we going to listen to Him or do what we want?

Psalm 34:13

keep your tongue from evil and your lips from telling lies.

Psalm 39:1

   I said, “I will watch my ways and keep my tongue from sin; I will put a muzzle on my mouth while in the presence of the wicked.”

Proverbs 11:12

Whoever derides their neighbor has no sense, but the one who has understanding holds their tongue.

Proverbs 12:18

The words of the reckless pierce like swords, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.

Proverbs 15:4

The soothing tongue is a tree of life, but a perverse tongue crushes the spirit.

Proverbs 17:28

Even fools are thought wise if they keep silent, and discerning if they hold their tongues.

Proverbs 21:23

Those who guard their mouths and their tongues keep themselves from calamity.

James 1:26

Those who consider themselves religious and yet do not keep a tight rein on their tongues deceive themselves, and their religion is worthless.

James 3:5-6

5 Likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. 6 The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one’s life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.

James 3:9

With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in God’s likeness.

Here is what God desires from His followers:


Romans 14:19

Therefore let us pursue the things which make for peace and the things by which one may edify another.

* edify means build each other up in a positive manner

Ephesians 4:29

Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers.


John 13:34-35

A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.”

Matthew 5:44

But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you,


Brothers and sisters may we take the Word of God to heart! What flows from your mouth comes from your heart which is a sign of where you stand with God!

Evaluate yourself!
