Rotten Fruits of the Tongue:
- Gossip
- Belittling
- Cursing
- Bragging
- Sarcasm
- Manipulation
- Exaggeration
- Insult
- Lying
- Complaining
If we are believers, only God can tame our tongues! We should be seeking Biblical wisdom in our lives each day.
James 3:17 reminds us, “But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.”
Good Fruits of the Tongue:
- Kindness
- Encouragement
- Instruction
- Uplifting others
- Testifying of God’s Goodness in your life
- Teaching God’s Word
- Sharing Biblical Wisdom
- Worship and Praise to God
- Speaking the Truth in Love
