Drawing from Colossians, Psalms, and Luke, she reminds us that “the mouth speaks what the heart is full of” and nothing shuts down relationships or opportunity faster than a foolish mouth. In a culture of noise and division, followers of Christ must be led by Christ and speak from a place of grace, wisdom, and awareness of God's promises."A hard heart makes all sorts of foolish decisions." - Beth MooreKey Scriptures: Colossians 4:2–6; 1 Corinthians 16:8-9; Luke 6:45; 1 Samuel 16:7; 1 John 3:19-20; Psalm 51:10; Hebrews 9:15; Exodus 4:12; Luke 21:15

We've all done it: something makes us mad and we start punching others with our words. Let's learn to use our words according to God's design. In this message, Pastor Jamie shares how we can overcome angry words.Angry words are the idle words and the ugly words we say when we get mad. Being angry is not a sin.Jesus got angry.Mark 3:5 ESV The goal for a Christian isn't to never get angry; the goal is never let anger cause you to sin.Ephesians 4:26-27 (Psalm 4:4)ESV Be angry and do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and give no opportunity to the devil.Live WITH your anger but don't live BY your anger. How do we stop angry words?1. Ask God to be your editor, not your janitor.In our anger we often say whatever comes to mind and we make a mess. But God doesn't just want to be your janitor and clean up your mess; He wants to be your editor and clean up your mouth.Prov 17:27-28 NLT We've got to stop giving ourselves permission to say everything we think. 2. Learn to intentionally respond, not instinctively react.An intentional response is measured, thoughtful, and deliberate. An instinctive reaction is unrestrained, emotional, and immediate. Proverbs 12:16 NIV Fools show their annoyance at once, but the prudent overlook an insult. 3. Remove "fighting words" from your vocabulary.Fighting words are words to that cause people to fight about things instead of fix things.Prov 12:18 NIV The words of the reckless pierce like swords, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.Examples of fighting words:Always/neverName calling/insultsBringing up the pastTone 4. Adopt God's perspective on people.Don't treat people based on who you think they are, treat them based on who God says they are. 2 Corinthians 5:15-16 NLT "Rudeness is the weak man's imitation of strength." - Eric HofferChristians are the dwelling place of God. When you speak angry words at Christians, you are trashing God's house.If you're not kind to others, God may have to get on their side to defend them against you! Ever heard someone called a "loose cannon?"That phrase came from the fact that cannons on ships had wheels for when it recoiled when being shot. A loose cannon was one that wasn't properly secured and it would kick back, roll everywhere and endanger the crew on the ship. Without restraints, a loose cannon can potentially not just destroy enemy ships, but destroy the ship its on. We are loose cannons when we declare war with our words when there is no war. We're a loose cannon when we don't restrain our words and hurt our friends and family with "friendly fire." Don't be a loose cannon and destroy your own ship. Are you speaking angry words?
This sermon series is all about learning to use our words according to God's design.The Bible teaches that your ability to speak isn't just for you, but for others through you. In this message, Pastor Jamie Nunnally talks about ugly words. Ugly words are harmful words that hurt others and reveal the poison in our own hearts.James 3:8 ESV but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.God wants to give your words authority. But why would He give weight to your words if you use ugly words instead of useful words? Examples of ugly words:Complaining, criticizing, accusing, blaming, insulting, judging, gossip, sarcasm, self-deprecation, etc. How to fix ugly words:1. Pause.Silence adds significance to what you say.James 1:19 NLT "Understand this, my dear brothers and sisters: You must all be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry."You don't have to have an opinion on everything.Some people have something to say, other people just want to say something."Everything that is said must be true, but not everything that is true must be said." 2. Perceive.Lamentations 3:40 "Let us test and examine our ways, and return to the Lord!"If you'll watch your thoughts, you won't have to watch your mouth as much.Ugly words are often caused by emotional inflammation – anger, disappointment, fear, or frustration - which is a reaction to a wound to your heart.Psalm 139:23-24 NLT "Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. [cares] ..." 3. Purify.Isaiah 6:5 NASB "Then I said, 'Woe is me, for I am ruined! Because I am a man of unclean lips, And I live among a people of unclean lips; For my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts.'"Being in the presence of God made Isaiah immediately aware of his ugly words.Submitting your speech to the creator of speech is the quickest way to tame your tongue. Have you ever considered the difference between a scalpel and a shiv? They're both sharp, they're both made with the intention of cutting someone, but one is intended to save a life, while the other is intended to take a life. The scalpel has been carefully sterilized, the shiv is covered in contaminants. One has been manufactured to precise specifications, the other has been hastily created from repurposed items from the past. The scalpel is found in a hospital, where doctors and nurses are trying help others, while a shiv is found in a prison where people are trying to hurt others. If you're still shackled by your sin or imprisoned by your past, your words will be a shiv. The truth can cut sometimes, but its intended to be a scalpel that brings life, not a shiv that brings death. Are you speaking ugly words?
Are you aware of the significance of your words? In this message, Pastor Eric Robertson shares how idle words can hurt others and even bring judgement upon ourselves. What are Idle Words?Matthew 12: 36-37NLT: "And I tell you this, you must give an account on judgment day for every idle word you speak. The words you say will either acquit you or condemn you."NIV: "for every empty word" ESV: "for every careless word" We speak idle words when we speak without understanding the weight and responsibility of our words.Speaking idle words is like putting a car in neutral and hammering the gas. You are wasting vital energy but not going anywhere or helping anyone.Idle words come in many forms but the most common form of idle words is empty criticism.Your words shape your world. If you sow seeds of empty criticism you will reap the fruit of it. How Are We Judged?Matthew 7: 2 You are judged with the same measure that you judge others. You get to choose your own judgment based on how you treat others. This happens in this life and the next.This judgment does not pertain to your salvation but to your ministry and what you have done with what you were given.1 Corinthians 3: 12-15 How Do We Protect Ourselves from Idle Words?1. Check your heart.Luke 6: 45 "A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in his heart, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in his heart. For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of."The key to taming the tongue is forming yourself into the image of Jesus. God is not interested in renewing one part of you, He wants to transform all of you. 2. Check your mindA word starts with a thought. If you can change the way you think, you can change the way you speak. If you are constantly thinking about what is wrong, you are misdirecting your ability to make things right. Criticism is a gift that, when used correctly, leads to restoration, but when used incorrectly leads to division and pain. Philippians 4:8 3. Check your mouth.Not everything you think needs to be said. The key to growth in this area of your life is self-discipline brought forth from a relationship with the Holy Spirit. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you tame your tongue.Ephesians 4:29 Proverbs: 29: 11 If what you want to say isn't going to build someone up, or it doesn't fit the occasion, don't say it. What would your life look like if you exchanged criticism for kindness?You are creating a world with your words. You are either creating heaven on earth or hell on earth. What do you want your legacy to be? Your words are the building blocks of your legacy no matter how you use them.
Do your words matter? In the message, Pastor Jamie Nunnally shares why we should tame our tongues. Taming the Tongue is learning to use our words according to God's design.What if your ability to speak isn't just a gift from God for you, but a gift to others through you? James 3:2-62 "Indeed, we all make many mistakes. For if we could control our tongues, we would be perfect and could also control ourselves in every other way.3 We can make a large horse go wherever we want by means of a small bit in its mouth. 4 And a small rudder makes a huge ship turn wherever the pilot chooses to go, even though the winds are strong. 5 In the same way, the tongue is a small thing that makes grand speeches. But a tiny spark can set a great forest on fire.6 And among all the parts of the body, the tongue is a flame of fire. It is a whole world of wickedness, corrupting your entire body. It can set your whole life on fire, for it is set on fire by hell itself." 1. Your words matter because your words determine your destiny.Proverbs18:21 NKJV "Words plant seeds which grow into fruit, and you and those around you will eat that fruit."Matthew 12:36-37 ESV "I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak, 37 for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned." James 3:7-8 2. Your words matter because you can't tame your tongue without God's help.Psalm 141:3 NIV Taming your tongue is a lifestyle that requires your constant attention. James 3:9-10 3. Your words matter because you can hurt others with what you say.Ephesians 4:29 ESVWords are like bricks—you can help build someone's house, or you can break someone's window. It depends on how you use them.Prov 12:18 NLT James 3:11-124. Your words matter because your words reveal the real you.Luke 6:45 NLT (Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.)James 1:26 NLT "If you claim to be religious but don't control your tongue, you are fooling yourself, and your religion is worthless."Don't let your tongue destroy your testimony. A manchineel tree is a tree in south Florida and parts of South America and the Caribbean that scientists say may be the deadliest tree in the world. Scientists believe since the tree lives in an area where there are more toxic plants than normal, it has grown an overdeveloped defense mechanism to protect itself.For many of us, like the manchineel tree, our words have become toxic fruit used as a defense mechanism. Receive healing for yourself so you will stop hurting everyone else. Do you speak as if your words matter?
Pastor Lloyd is leading us verse by verse through the epistle of James. We've all experienced saying something that later we wished we hadn't... whether it be a curse word, or something that hurt another a great deal. It's amazing how such a small part of the body can have such a large impact. No wonder James likens it to a fire! Let's see now how we can use it for good rather than evil, in James three.
Today on Bridging the Gap, as we return to our study of James, we'll be reminded of the power of words. They have the power to motivate millions of people to hang tough in a difficult situation, and they have the ability to cut a person to ribbons. Pastor Lloyd Pulley is our teacher, and on today's program, he'll show us what James has to say on the subject of the unbridled tongue.

Hung By The Tongue Part 4 - Chipo Butayi ( 26 - 05 - 2024 )
The tongue is a good gift from God—but it also can be a destructive troublemaker. In this podcast, Scott Brown discusses how the tongue can poison and devour, but also how it can be tamed to encourage others through singing, hearty counsel, thoughtful admonishment, and more. Not only can our tongue be used to bring praise to God, but it can give “beautiful words, wonderful words, wonderful words of life” to our friends, family, and others in need.
