Unkind Speech vs. Kind Speech

 I wonder why the day after I wrote about responding to the "Do you do anything?" question, the Lord prompted me to write about unkind speech?  ("Do You Do Anything?")   We talked about unkind speech during school this week, and below is some of what we talked about. 

"What does our speech reveal about us? What kind of impact does our speech have on other people? The following Bible verses teach us how to use our speech to honor God. Our words have a tremendous impact on people. It's important that we learn to communicate with wisdom and purity. We must keep in mind that our speech can serve as a reflection of our relationship in Christ. The following Bible verses provide a model for our speech so we can communicate the truth in love.
Here is a list of Bible verses about our speech."  John Sachem
