7 Show yourself in all respects to be a model of good works, a | Family Bible Fellowship of Ridgeville

7 Show yourself in all respects to be a model of good works, and in your teaching show integrity, dignity,
8 and sound speech that cannot be condemned, so that an opponent may be put to shame, having nothing evil to say about us. - Titus 2:7-8

The opposition will be put to shame, by how we behave, by what we teach and how we teach what it is that we teach (sound doctrine). A godly young man watches what he says and when he says it! Saying the right thing at the wrong time, can be a killer!

Whoever keeps his mouth and his tongue keeps himself out of trouble. - Proverbs 21:23

5 So also the tongue is a small member, yet it boasts of great things. How great a forest is set ablaze by such a small fire!
6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of unrighteousness. The tongue is set among our members, staining the whole body, setting on fire the entire course of life, and set on fire by hell.
7 For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and sea creature, can be tamed and has been tamed by mankind,
8 but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.
9 With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse people who are made in the likeness of God.
10 From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so. - James 3:5-10

This day and the days to come, let us watch what we say and how we say what we say.

God bless you
