Licking The Lips

Contributed by Jimmy Chapman on Jan 26, 2008

Now I believe that there are four bona-fide instances of lip-licking instances found in the Scriptures.

LICKING THE LIPS The Bible has much to say about the lips. Proverbs 10:19 “In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise.” The more a man talks, the more mistakes he will make Wisdom is manifest in what we don’t say, rather than in what we say.. ...read more

HABITS OF THE HEART I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the Heart – what the Bible says about it in comparison to what our culture says about it.
