Text: Proverbs 15
19 October 2003

Dear Parents,

THE THEME OF “THE TONGUE”
The theme of the use of the tongue is dwelt upon in Proverbs 15. Let us make a list of the verses where the word “tongue”, “word” or “lips” are mentioned.

A soft answer turns away wrath,
But a harsh word stirs up anger.

Proverbs 15:1

The tongue of the wise uses knowledge rightly,
But the mouth of fools pours forth foolishness.

Proverbs 15:2

A wholesome tongue is a tree of life,
But perverseness in it breaks the spirit.

Proverbs 15:4

The lips of the wise disperse knowledge,
But the heart of the fool does not do so.

Proverbs 15:7

The heart of him who has understanding seeks knowledge,
But the mouth of fools feeds on foolishness.

Proverbs 15:14

A man has joy by the answer of his mouth,
And a word spoken in due season, how good it is!

Proverbs 15:23

The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the LORD,
But the words of the pure are pleasant.

Proverbs 15:26

The heart of the righteous studies how to answer,
But the mouth of the wicked pours forth evil.

Proverbs 15:28

CHALLENGED TO GUIDE OUR CHILDREN ON THE USE OF THE TONGUE
Obviously, there is a proper and improper use of the tongue. Let us be challenged to guide our children so that they would use the tongue wisely and well.

Prayerfully,
Pastor Charlie
