3Only God can tame the tongue, but we have the responsibility to bridle it.

Does your mouth get you into trouble? The tongue is powerful and humanly untamable. We often misuse this power to lie, curse, slander, or gossip. Negative or careless words open the door to the enemy and leave a trail of hurt.

The good news is words can also be cleansing and encouraging. When used with honor, they can connect us with God and one another. This study guide is a companion to the DVD series and is designed for group discussion and personal reflection. The sessions will teach you how to:

• Examine the intentions of your heart
• Allow the Holy Spirit to guide what you say
• Speak words that bring healing and forgiveness
• Develop a strong, trustworthy character
