Taming the Tongue

Sorry about the late post, but here is the practical application (“less” and “more”) for taming the tongue that was discussed at last week’s home group. Hope this is helpful.

We need to have –

Less:
Joking, specifically about sin
Talking about others behind their backs
Tearing down others
A view of competition amongst one another
A desire for Man’s approval

More:
Encouraging
Pointing out evidences of grace
Careful with our conversations
Open environment for encouragement
Wanting to be great in God’s eyes
Supporting those who bring Jesus out of his room

Thanks for posting this Kevin. It will be great to have something tangible to look at in our attempt to glorify God and edify the group through our words. I'm praying that all of you "Clash goers" are learning more than you can take in and are experiencing God's grace in a powerful way!

Even though I didn't hear the exact suff y'all discussed at your home group, I think those are great application points on taming the tongue. I think I could work on just a couple points on the list for quite awhile.
