We can build up or tear down people. “Death and life are in the power of the tongue,” Proverbs 18:21

Did you know that Gossip is as murder? “[Murder Begins in the Heart ] “You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder, and whoever murders will be in danger of the judgment.’ Mathew 5:21

What is in the heart, the mouth speaks. A word spoken about another Christian behind their back “are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.” Proverbs 18:8

“Teach me, and I will hold my tongue; Cause me to understand wherein I have erred.” Job 6:24
