TITLE: Speak Up!
\n<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Scripture:\u00a0 Colossians 4:2-6
\n<\/strong><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cA sharp tongue is the only edge that grows keener with constant use.\u201d Washington Irving<\/p>\n

\n\u201cIf your lips would keep from slips, Five things observe with care: To whom you speak; of whom you speak; and how, and when, and where.\u201d William Norris<\/p>\n

\n\u201cI have often regretted my speech, never my silence.\u201d Publius<\/p>\n

\nI.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 WHEN TALKING TO GOD\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Sound advice about our vertical speech:<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0 Be devoted to (prayer<\/strong><\/span>).
\n2.\u00a0\u00a0 Be (alert<\/strong><\/span>).
\n3.\u00a0\u00a0 Be (grateful<\/strong><\/span>).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

II.\u00a0\u00a0 WHEN TALKING TO OTHERS<\/strong><\/h4>\n


\n<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Verse 5: What Christ-followers are gives credibility (to what we say<\/strong><\/span>).<\/p>\n

\nThe word conduct here is the Greek word which means \u201cto walk around.\u201d\u00a0 It refers to (all actions of a person\u2019s daily life<\/strong><\/span>).<\/p>\n

\nWe are to have our speech \u201cseasoned with salt.\u201d What exactly does that mean?<\/p>\n

\nPsalm 114:3- \u201cSet a guard, O Lord, over my mouth; keep watch over the door of my lips.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nA good principle to follow is found in Ephesians 4:29<\/p>\n
