I was going to title this, “What Does the Bible Say About Blogging?” \u00a0But not everyone blogs. \u00a0So we’ll consider Bible quotes<\/a> about our words, and for those of us who blog, this applies to our blogs as well. \u00a0As I’ve done in previous posts, I’ve compiled a list of Scriptures that deal with our words in a two \u00a0page printable for you to print off and tuck in your Bible or prayer journal. \u00a0Basically though, I could have just encouraged you to read the Book of Proverbs; it’s full of instructions, admonitions and wisdom concerning our words.<\/p>\n

\n

* I’ve written an ebook to guide you through the whys and hows to get started with Bible Journaling, Bible Journaling Tips, Inspiration and Permission<\/a>, and to encourage and inspire you in your Bible journaling!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

As a matter of fact, when I first starting reading my Bible<\/a>\"\" to learn from it, I sat down with a green highlighter<\/a> and went through the Book of Proverbs highlighting verses that spoke of how, when and why to use my mouth. \u00a0I chose green because to me, green symbolizes “life” and I want to speak words of life into myself and others. \u00a0I HIGHLY encourage you to do this.<\/strong> \u00a0It was amazing to me to see how many times the Scriptures addressed our mouth. \u00a0If you don’t struggle with your mouth, then I highly encourage to pick your predominate fault and scour the Bible for verses on that fault.<\/p>\n

Bible Quotes: What Does the Bible Say About Our Words<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

No coincidence the picture above is a smart phone. \u00a0Our words are no longer contained to written letter, face to face conversations or telephone calls. \u00a0We now use our words in text messages, Facebook updates, Instagram blurbs, Pinterest descriptions, blog comments and varying other forms of social media I am not even aware of. \u00a0We live in a time when more words are exchanged at a faster rate than any other time in history. \u00a0And honestly, how are we doing in this exchange?<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Do we use our words to:<\/strong><\/p>\n

swear by the Lord’s name falsely? (Leviticus 9:12, Exodus 20–What’s Wrong with OMG?<\/a>)<\/p>\n

belittle our neighbor (on Facebook or other social media)? (Proverbs 11:12)<\/p>\n

heal others and make them glad? (Proverbs 12:18,25)<\/p>\n

come to ruin? (Proverbs 13:3)<\/p>\n

stir up anger or pour out folly? (Proverbs 15:1-2)<\/p>\n

break the spirit? (Proverbs 15:4)<\/p>\n

sweeten the soul? (Proverbs 16:23-24)<\/p>\n

separate close friends? (Proverbs 17:9)<\/p>\n

speak life or death? (Proverbs 17:27-28)<\/p>\n

keep ourselves out of trouble? (Proverbs 21:23)<\/p>\n

praise ourselves? (Proverbs 27:2)<\/p>\n

speak good or evil? (Matthew 12:34)<\/p>\n

justify or condemn? (Matthew 12:36-37)<\/p>\n

defile ourselves (mar, spoil, profane, violate)? Matthew 15:18)<\/p>\n

produce good or evil? (Luke 6:45)<\/p>\n

bless those who persecute us (on Facebook or other social media)? Romans 12:14<\/p>\n

answer graciously? (Colossians 4:6)<\/p>\n

build up and give grace? (Ephesians 4:29)<\/p>\n

speak filthy, foolish or crude (Ephesians 5:3-4)<\/p>\n

poison ourselves? \u00a0others? \u00a0the world? (James 3:6,8)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

That last question, “…poison ourselves…” \u00a0How do we speak to ourselves? \u00a0Well, for too long I spoke to myself like I was a piece of you know what.<\/a> \u00a0I wouldn’t speak to anyone the way I spoke to myself back then. \u00a0That’s where my need for daily affirmations<\/a> came along.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I encourage you to sit down with that short list of questions above and really examine how, when and why you use your words; use it as an Examination of Conscience<\/a>. \u00a0And here’s the complete list of Bible quotes about our words for you to download and print…Bible Quotes Our Words<\/a><\/p>\n
