Scripture References:

• “People can tame all kinds of animals, birds, reptiles, and fish, but no one can tame the tongue. It is restless and evil, full of deadly poison. Sometimes it praises our Lord and Father, and sometimes it curses those who have been made in the image of God. And so blessing and cursing come pouring out of the same mouth. Surely, my brothers and sisters, this is not right!” (‭‭James‬ ‭3‬:‭7-‭10‬)
• “Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life.” (‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭4‬:‭23‬)
• “A good person produces good things from the treasury of a good heart, and an evil person produces evil things from the treasury of an evil heart. What you say flows from what is in your heart.” (‭‭Luke‬ ‭6‬:‭45‬)
• “The tongue can bring death or life; those who love to talk will reap the consequences.” (‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭18‬:‭21‬)
