CG Discussion Questions:
1. How can you relate to the scripture reference of having an untamed tongue with the destructive power of setting the course on fire and bringing unruly evil or deadly poison to the world? Have you come across anyone whose words tend to come out with bitterness, hostility or resentment and how does the spring of bitter water reveal about the bad experiences and the sin nature that is working in the heart of these people?
(James 3:2-12)
2. By self-examining your track of words spoken, what type of words should not be said, may have got you into trouble or caused harm to others? What is the difference between having a healthy disagreement and sowing discord and how should we react when a possibility of sowing discord arises in our family, workplace, or church?
(Proverbs 6:14, 19; Proverbs 10:19)
3. Have you noticed the difference between words that carry substance with depth by a wise person and a fool around you who just talks with words that are empty, discourage and minister nothing? Discuss how you can live out the transformed life as a new creation from the inside out by reigning over your flesh and taming your tongue to flow out words that encourage, comfort and build up others.
(John 3:5-6; 2 Corinthians 5:17; Ephesians 4:23-24; Philippians 4:13; 1 Peter 3:3-4)
