Message slides speech 3 20-11
The document discusses how a Christian's speech should be affected by following Jesus. It asks whether following Jesus should change the words one uses and topics discussed. While no one can completely control their words, Christians are called to take every thought captive to Christ. The Bible provides guidance on speech, such as avoiding unwholesome talk and instead using words that build others up. Quotes from Jesus and the apostles Paul and Peter advise watching one's speech and avoiding gossip.
