SPEAKING THE TRUTH

SPEAKING THE TRUTH 

Matthew 12:34-37 

O Generation Of Vipers, How Can Ye, Being Evil, Speak Good Things? For Out Of The Abundance Of The Heart The Mouth Speaketh. A Good Man Out Of The Good Treasure Of The Heart Bringeth Forth Good Things: And An Evil Man Out Of The Evil Treasure Bringeth Forth Evil Things. But I Say Unto You, That Every Idle Word That Men Shall Speak, They Shall Give Account Thereof In The Day Of Judgment. For By Thy Words Thou Shalt Be Justified, And By Thy Words Thou Shalt Be Condemned.

Ephesians 4:29-32 

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. And Grieve Not The Holy Spirit Of God, Whereby Ye Are Sealed Unto The Day Of Redemption. Let All Bitterness, And Wrath, And Anger, And Clamour, And Evil Speaking, Be Put Away From You, With All Malice: And Be Ye Kind One To Another, Tenderhearted, Forgiving One Another, Even As God For Christ's Sake Hath Forgiven You.

James 3:5-18 

Even So The Tongue Is A Little Member, And Boasteth Great Things. Behold, How Great A Matter A Little Fire Kindleth! And The Tongue Is A Fire, A World Of Iniquity: So Is The Tongue Among Our Members, That It Defileth The Whole Body, And Setteth On Fire The Course Of Nature; And It Is Set On Fire Of Hell. For Every Kind Of Beasts, And Of Birds, And Of Serpents, And Of Things In The Sea, Is Tamed, And Hath Been Tamed Of Mankind: But The Tongue Can No Man Tame; It Is An Unruly Evil, Full Of Deadly Poison. Therewith Bless We God, Even The Father; And Therewith Curse We Men, Which Are Made After The Similitude Of God. Out Of The Same Mouth Proceedeth Blessing And Cursing. My Brethren, These Things Ought Not So To Be. Doth A Fountain Send Forth At The Same Place Sweet Water And Bitter? Can The Fig Tree, My Brethren, Bear Olive Berries? Either A Vine, Figs? So Can No Fountain Both Yield Salt Water And Fresh. Who Is A Wise Man And Endued With Knowledge Among You? Let Him Shew Out Of A Good Conversation His Works With Meekness Of Wisdom. But If Ye Have Bitter Envying And Strife In Your Hearts, Glory Not, And Lie Not Against The Truth. This Wisdom Descendeth Not From Above, But Is Earthly, Sensual, Devilish. For Where Envying And Strife Is, There Is Confusion And Every Evil Work. But The Wisdom That Is From Above Is First Pure, Then Peaceable, Gentle, And Easy To Be Intreated, Full Of Mercy And Good Fruits, Without Partiality, And Without Hypocrisy. And The Fruit Of Righteousness Is Sown In Peace Of Them That Make Peace.

Ephesians 5:1-20 

Be Ye Therefore Followers Of God, As Dear Children; And Walk In Love, As Christ Also Hath Loved Us, And Hath Given Himself For Us An Offering And A Sacrifice To God For A Sweetsmelling Savour. But Fornication, And All Uncleanness, Or Covetousness, Let It Not Be Once Named Among You, As Becometh Saints; Neither Filthiness, Nor Foolish Talking, Nor Jesting, Which Are Not Convenient: But Rather Giving Of Thanks. For This Ye Know, That No Whoremonger, Nor Unclean Person, Nor Covetous Man, Who Is An Idolater, Hath Any Inheritance In The Kingdom Of Christ And Of God. Let No Man Deceive You With Vain Words: For Because Of These Things Cometh The Wrath Of God Upon The Children Of Disobedience. Be Not Ye Therefore Partakers With Them. For Ye Were Sometimes Darkness, But Now Are Ye Light In The Lord: Walk As Children Of Light: (For The Fruit Of The Spirit Is In All Goodness And Righteousness And Truth;) Proving What Is Acceptable Unto The Lord. And Have No Fellowship With The Unfruitful Works Of Darkness, But Rather Reprove Them. For It Is A Shame Even To Speak Of Those Things Which Are Done Of Them In Secret. But All Things That Are Reproved Are Made Manifest By The Light: For Whatsoever Doth Make Manifest Is Light. Wherefore He Saith, Awake Thou That Sleepest, And Arise From The Dead, And Christ Shall Give Thee Light. See Then That Ye Walk Circumspectly, Not As Fools, But As Wise, Redeeming The Time, Because The Days Are Evil. Wherefore Be Ye Not Unwise, But Understanding What The Will Of The Lord Is. And Be Not Drunk With Wine, Wherein Is Excess; But Be Filled With The Spirit; Speaking To Yourselves In Psalms And Hymns And Spiritual Songs, Singing And Making Melody In Your Heart To The Lord; Giving Thanks Always For All Things Unto God And The Father In The Name Of Our Lord Jesus Christ;

1 Peter 2:12 

Having Your Conversation Honest Among The Gentiles: That, Whereas They Speak Against You As Evildoers, They May By Your Good Works, Which They Shall Behold, Glorify God In The Day Of Visitation.

1 Peter 4:11 

If Any Man Speak, Let Him Speak As The Oracles Of God; If Any Man Minister, Let Him Do It As Of The Ability Which God Giveth: That God In All Things May Be Glorified Through Jesus Christ, To Whom Be Praise And Dominion For Ever And Ever. Amen.

BEFORE WE SPEAK OR ACT WE SHOULD SAY TO OURSELVES, WOULD JESUS CHRIST SAY OR DO THIS? WE ARE TO LIVE LIKE JESUS CHRIST! WE ARE TO HONOR AND GLORIFY OUR FATHER, GOD!!! WE HAVE THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST IN US TO HELP US IN OUR TIME OF NEED, WE NEED TO BE HONEST AND ASK HIM TO HELP US. REMEMBER, IF WE LIE ALL OF THE TIME, NO ONE WILL EVER BELIEVE THE TRUTH WHEN YOU SPEAK IT!!

Romans 8:6-9 

For To Be Carnally Minded Is Death; But To Be Spiritually Minded Is Life And Peace. Because The Carnal Mind Is Enmity Against God: For It Is Not Subject To The Law Of God, Neither Indeed Can Be. So Then They That Are In The Flesh Cannot Please God. But Ye Are Not In The Flesh, But In The Spirit, If So Be That The Spirit Of God Dwell In You. Now If Any Man Have Not The Spirit Of Christ, He Is None Of His.

John 14:23-26 

Jesus Answered And Said Unto Him, If A Man Love Me, He Will Keep My Words: And My Father Will Love Him, And We Will Come Unto Him, And Make Our Abode With Him. He That Loveth Me Not Keepeth Not My Sayings: And The Word Which Ye Hear Is Not Mine, But The Father's Which Sent Me. These Things Have I Spoken Unto You, Being Yet Present With You. But The Comforter, Which Is The Holy Ghost, Whom The Father Will Send In My Name, He Shall Teach You All Things, And Bring All Things To Your Remembrance, Whatsoever I Have Said Unto You.

Ephesians 4:15 

But SPEAKING THE TRUTH In Love, May Grow Up Into Him In All Things, Which Is The Head, Even Christ:
