Proverbs: The Tongue
ProverbsSteve Gregg
In this discourse, Steve Gregg delved into the various problems associated with speech according to the Book of Proverbs. The wise use of words can promote Christ's interests and establish the credibility and acceptability of the speaker in the eyes of people, while the opposite is true for the words of the wicked. The tongue is a sharp, two-edged sword that can either be a source of life or promote violence. Gregg stressed the importance of being mindful of the words we speak and using them to edify and impart grace to others.
