PROVERBS 11:11 By the blessing of the upright a city is exalted, but by the mouth of the wicked it is torn down. PROVERBS 10:11-12 The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life, but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence. 12Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all transgressions. PROVERBS 10:20a The tongue of the righteous is as choice silver. PROVERBS 12:18 NLT Some people make cutting remarks, but the words of the wise bring healing. PROVERBS 15:1 A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. PROVERBS 15:4 NLT Gentle words are a tree of life; a deceitful tongue crushes the spirit. PROVERBS 13:3 The one who guards his mouth preserves his life; the one who opens wide his lips comes to ruin. PROVERBS 21:23 He who guards his mouth and his tongue, guards his soul from troubles. PROVERBS 18:6-7 NLT Fools’ words get them into constant quarrels; they are asking for a beating. 7The mouths of fools are their ruin; they trap themselves with their lips. EPHESIANS 4:29 Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear. PROVERBS 10:19 When there are many words, transgression is unavoidable, but he who restrains his lips is wise. PROVERBS 15:28 The heart of the righteous ponders how to answer, but the mouth of the wicked pours out evil things. PROVERBS 17:27-28 He who restrains his words has knowledge, and he who has a cool spirit is a man of understanding. 28Even a fool, when he keeps silent, is considered wise; when he closes his lips, he is considered prudent. PROVERBS 29:11 A fool always loses his temper, but a wise man holds it back. PROVERBS 29:20 Do you see a man who is hasty in his words? There is more hope for a fool than for him. PROVERBS 16:32 He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit, than he who captures a city. PROVERBS 19:11 A man’s discretion makes him slow to anger, and it is his glory to overlook a transgression. ANNOUNCEMENTS NO YOUTH GROUP due to Kennywood. Questions? Email Taylor Brown.
