Watch Your Tongue, Watch What You Say

Ladies, Have you been partners of or have done this...

Catch Gossiping or busyboding, Lying, Slander, talebearing, bearing false witness, using profanity, Cursing, blasphemy, vain babbling, evil speaking and whisperings, using and taking the lord's name in vain, complaining, and griping.

Complaining and griping may not be sins but it did put the Israelites in the dessert for 40 years and there requests went unanswered, even David's complaining and griping went unanswered until he bowed and prayed and seeked the Lord's face.

We'll here is what the bible has to say about it.

Gossip, Talebearering - 2 Th. 3:11, 1 Ti 5:13,  1 Pe 4:15,  Le 19:16, Pr. 11:13, 17:9, 18:6-8, 20:19-20, 26:20-22,

False Witnessing - Ex. 23:1, De. 19:16-17,  Pr. 12:17, 19:9, 24:28, 25:18, 6:19, Mt. 19:18, Ro. 13:9,

Lying - Prov 17:7,  17:10, 19:5, 12:22, 21:6, Col. 3:9,

Profanity, Cursing, Blasphemy, Taking the Lord's Name in Vain - Ex. 20:7, Le 19:11-12, Mt. 5:33-37, Ja. 5:12,

Evil Speaking - Ps. 5:9, 10:7, 36:3, 55:21, Pr. 12:18, 24:2, Mt. 12:34, Ro. 3:13, Ja. 3:6, Ep. 4:31, Ja. 4:11, 1 Pe. 2:1,

Evil Whisperings, Vain Babbling - Ps. 41:7, Pr. 16:28, 26:22, Ro. 1:20, 2 Co. 12:20, 1 Ti. 6:20, 2 Ti. 2:16,

Slander - Ps 31:13, Ps. 101:4-5, Pr. 10:18, 11:9, Je 9:4-5,

So before you are catch in, using, or taking any of the above. Think before you speak. Gossip, Talebearering, False Witnessing, Lying, Profanity, Cursing, Blasphemy, Taking the Lord's Name in Vain, Evil Whisperings, Vain Babbling, and Slander all are sin.

Again complaining and griping may not be sins be they will cause you to be put in your own dessert of doubt, despaire, denial, self-pity. So until you bow and pray and seek the Lord's face your requests will go unanswered.
