Growing in Godly Speech
Selected Scriptures

God has given us the gift of speech to reflect that we are created in His image - so does our speech reflect the image of God in us?

Is my speech different to the speech of unbelievers? Our speech should resemble the God who gave it to us, and honour Him.

Is my speech tearing down, or building up? We should make time to have good conversations, and take the opportunity to communicate joy.

Am I practicing soundness of speech? Good speech is a beautiful thing, like fine jewellery. A Wise word at the right time is valuable.

Am I guarding my speech? We need to examine our hearts to see the reasons behind the things we say.
