Tell a story
about a time when you said something foolish and later wished you had kept your
mouth shut!
Examine some
situations in Scripture where Jesus wisely answered those who were trying to
trick Him. (Matthew 12:2….Mark 11:28….Luke
20:20, 28-33)
What are 3
good questions to ask ourselves before we speak: Is it true?
Is it kind? Is it necessary?
Our words
consist not only of what we speak with our mouth, but include any written
communication as well. All of these
truths regarding wise words apply to letters, e-mails, chatting, texting,
tweeting, etc.
Wise
comments are very relevant to sharing the gospel…let’s review that! J
Main Concepts:
Words are
very powerful. The have the power of
life or death (Pr. 18:21). We will give
account for every idle word spoken (Mt. 12:36)
As
ambassadors of Christ, we need to choose words that are meaningful, edifying,
and profitable to others.
In order to
be strong for the Lord in our youth, it is important that we learn to relate
with others in a way that is respectable, thoughtful, and socially mature.
Learning
good conversational skills is an essential part of shining our light brightly
for the Lord.
The most
important comments we can make are those which glorify the Lord and point
others to Him.
“Let no corrupt
communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of
edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.” Ephesians 4:29
