SUCCESSFUL CHRISTIANS
If you are going to be a Christian, why not be a good one
I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. John 10:10
But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory, through our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 15:57
The most successful Christians control their T.O.N.G.U.E.
T.alk the talk and walk the walk
? If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain. James 1:26
? Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile. Psalms 34:13
O.ffend someone? Then apologize.
? Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. Matthew 5:23-24
? Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican. Matthew 18:15-17
N.o swearing
? 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. Ephesians 4:29
? Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. Exodus 20:7
G.od hears the things you think about
? Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer. Psalms 19:14
? Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ; 2 Corinthians 10:5
? But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart. Matthew 5:28
? …for the Lord searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughts… 1 Chronicles 28:9
? Search me, O God, and know my heart: Try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, And lead me in the way everlasting. Psalm 139:23-24
U.nderstand gossip is a sin
? A talebearer revealeth secrets: but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter. Proverbs 11:13
? The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly. Proverbs 18:8
E.ncourage others with your speech
? Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. Hebrews 10:25
